Hi, I was wondering if window boxes or planters can count towards the credit. Are there any special requirements (e.g., depth of planter, size etc) for them to be counted? Also, can a green roof with adaptive species of sedum comply with this?

Hi M K LEED Interpretation #10231 indicates that green roofs must be an intensive roof system (where the depth of the growing medium is 6 inches or more) and have more than six varieties of sedum to contribute to this credit. It's unlikely that window boxes or planters could be counted. Hope this helps! Karin
