Good afternoon -
I have a project with a 1 acre crop in the LEED boundary. It is a research/education component for the facility. The project is pursuing No Irrigation for the remainder of the site/landscaped area. However, this crop will require irrigation in times of extreme dry weather. How is the 1 acre viewed: process or landscaped area?
Thank you very much!

Per the reference guide "food gardens may be excluded".
I'd expect that you would be able to exclude your crops from credit requirements.
Good Luck!

I like that response very much. Thank you for your quick thoughts! This forum is a great tool when you just need to have a little external validation.
