Has anyone heard of an alternate compliance path where we count the new greenspace we're creating where we're removing hardscape, as a reduction in the heat island effect on the site?

Emily, I would be interested in hearing other experiences, but I think this would be unlikely. Removing hardscape is definitely a good thing, but it helps you in so many other ways—SSc6.1, SSc6.2, SSc5.1—that I don't think it's a strategy that is really crying out for special consideration. I would say that this credit is focusing on reducing the impact of the hardscape you do have, while those credits reward you amply for not having hardscape.
