We have a greenroof that is partially within the LEED Boundary. We are calculating only the square footage of the area within the Boundary and will leave the rest outside the calculation.
Does LEED allow this?

You would only include the green roof within your LEED boundary. So if you LEED boundary is ok and you are not gerrymandering (see more about that under the MPR section on LEEDUser), you are good to go. As for green walls they don't appear to be included as of now. (see http://bit.ly/Ha3ING Seema's comment) The LEED 2012 will include them. So chances are if you submit an CIR you will be able to included them.
