Even though the parking lot is outside the property line you state that it's within the same scope of work (and budget?) as the rest of your project. My sense is that you would have to include your parking lot in the LEED boundary. You didn't mention if this was v2.2...

to attract biodiversity. Also, it is considered that gardening practices will be organic. We are in a zero lot line project, high density area, in a city where 99% of built areas are low density. Do you think...

as "thermafusers") so that the number of VAVs plus controllable grills is equal to half the number of occupants. This is not a common approach, but we have tried it with small projects that have a lot of meeting rooms...

scenarios would comply with SSc5.2 Case 1: 1. Assume the "open space requirement" is based on max lot coverage, which is 50% of the site. If the site is, say, 10,000 sf, then to meet the credit...

On the review team, there's likely to be different people reviewing different credits, based on their area of expertise. The summary narrative helps those different players understand the big picture of the project and can often prevent a lot of misunderstanding and mis-interpretation of your credit strategies. If you imagine what key information will help a specialist diving into a few specific credits understand the relevant context they'll need to understand your submission, that's what you want to aim for. As far as the numbers, provide your best guess if you have one, or leave some...

Mara Baum Partner, Architecture & Sustainability DIALOG LEEDuser Premium Member 674 thumbs up August 30, 2010- 7:35 pm Energy modeling of green roofs is pretty complicated business. A lot of the conventional energy saving strategies for roofs-- e.g. insulation values-- don't adequately address the real energy benefits of the green roof. In other words, it's not really about insulation....

They all require performance period start & finish dates on the submittal sheet. So what do we put if all the performance periods are meant to line up during the 30-day shared window? Do we have to re-do all our surveys in the final month or these items are exempt from that 30-day window? Or is the performance period from the day we do the survey to the final day of the performance period to line up...

Dan Ackerstein Principal Ackerstein Sustainability, LLC LEEDuser Expert 819 thumbs up September 15, 2010- 2:11 pm That sounds a lot like a rainwater retention system to me Paul. You're taking rainwater that otherwise would have run off your property into the storm sewer, storing it, and then using it in lieu of potable water to irrigate the property. If that is your sole source of irrigation...

Jenny Carney Vice President WSP LEEDuser Expert 657 thumbs up September 14, 2010- 3:17 pm Andy, There's a Reference Guide addenda that directs project teams to the SF Pesticide Hazard Screening List: http://www.sfenvironment.org/our_programs/interests.html?ssi=2&ti=1&ii=117 It's my understanding that this is more comprehensive than the Reduced Risk Pesticide lists (regardless of issue date). Also, the Pesticide Hazard Screening List includes Tier 1 and 2 products in addition to Tier 3, so make sure you are zeroing in on the right Tier. Log in or register to post comments Pablo...
