FAQs about SSc5.2 :

I'm confused about the difference between SSc5.1 and SSc5.2. Can I earn them both?

Can roof terraces contribute to SSc5.2?

How should I count planters and vegetation on balconies?

What if my local code has a landscaping requirement? Is this the same as an open space requirement?

Can permeable paving count as hardscape or vegetation towards SSc5.2 calculations?

Can interior courtyards contribute to vegetation requirements?

Can a project designate open space off-site and not within the LEED project boundary to meet the credit requirements?

Which approach should a project take if the LEED project boundary covers two areas with different zoning requirements?

The credit requirements state the open space area must be ‘adjacent’ to the project. Does the designated site area need to be right next to the project building?

Hi everyone, I have an urban project which is installing a greenhouse for educational purposes. As it is an urban project (UES Manhattan), rooftop space is very limited and the majority of the roof is being used as a playscape plus this greenhouse roof. Has anyone used and ACP using a greenhouse to contribute to landscaped area? I know it's a bit of a stretch... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks much, Sarah

Haven't seen it done but I would encourage it. Tell us how it went, Sarah!
