preserved for the life of the building?

Is it required that habitat area be preserved for the life of the building (like open space in SSc5.2). The credit does not specfy this requirement. But, it seems strange that this would be required for SSc5.2 and not SSc5.1.

E H, you understand correctly. Sometimes LEED is not internally consistent, or maybe the requirements represent conscious tradeoffs.
