FAQs about SSc5 :

Do potted native/adapted plants count towards this credit?

Is there a requirement for how close the off-site area must be to the LEED project location? We’re looking into supporting a habitat area in a different state or possibly a different country but we want to be sure this is acceptable.

We’re going to provide restoration/maintenance services to an off-site property. What should we do to document this?

Does the contract with an off-site property owner need to be in place before the performance period begins?

As part of our contract with the off-site property owner we will provide labor services to help restore/maintain the site. Does this work need to be performed and completed before the performance period begins, so that the restored habitat is in place ove

Is there a requirement for how long financial support or labor services must be provided to an off-site area?

What level of financial commitment do we need to make when pursuing the off-site option?

Our organization owns, manages and protects a large parcel of land that meets the requirements of this credit. We only need a portion of the total parcel area to meet the credit space requirement. Do we have to allocate the entire parcel to this LEED proj

The performance period for our project is only 90 days. Does the contract for SSc5 offisite land restoration need to be longer than the performance period (such as a 1 yr contract) or can we contract for just the 90 day performance period?

Hi Randi - I pulled the below from LEEDuser's FAQ for this credit: Is there a requirement for how long financial support or labor services must be provided to an off-site area? There is no requirement that speaks to this directly. The commitment should be long enough to deliver meaningful benefit to the off-site property and must cover the minimally applicable performance period for the LEED project. Many project teams choose to do either a one- or two-year contract. Consult with the property owner and consider your restoration goals when determining the appropriate length of time for your contract.
