FAQs about SSc5.2 :

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?

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?

Can vineyards within the LEED boundary for a winery project be counted in the vegetated open space area calculations?

I would say yes as long as there are no plans to develop that land for anything other than growing grapes. You might have a harder time considering them native/adaptive for the purposes of SSc5.1, but for SSc5.2 you should be fine.
