FAQs about LTc4 :

When it comes to satisfying the requirements for Option 1, what does the "total buildable land" take into account? And the "total building area"?

Where do we measure the radius from? In LEED 2009, we measured it from the main entry, but the LEED v4 language is different.

Hi, How does a 1/4 mile radius around the project site from the project boundary looks like? To my interpretation a radius is the area within a given distance from a central point, thus creating a circle. However, a project boundary is not a central point but a closed line. Do I need to draw a line on a distance of 1/4 mile from the project boundary? This would look like an enlarged version of the project site.

It's actually an offset of your project boundary, to use a better term. That said, it'll just look like a much bigger version of your boundary, extended out 1/4 mile, as you describe.
