Hi, My current project is going to be built on a previously developed parking lot. It was mainly used to hold construction vehicles. For option 1 of this credit it requires the previously developed land to be of industrial or commercial use. Would this count as an industrial use since it was construction parking?

Gioia Connell Consultant WSP LEEDuser Expert 1 thumbs up March 28, 2024- 3:01 pm Hello fellow *Connell, In our team's experience any parking space that is allocated for use by the building occupants will need to be included, even if they are not new spaces.  So if any of those other parking lots are used in part by occupants, those spaces that are used would need to be counted.

is there a performance standard the project will be held to for “minimizing” and “addressing” those noise concerns? As it is, there is a lot of room for interpretation as to what is good enough and I would be worried...

"The counted uses must represent at least three of the five categories, exclusive of the building’s primary use category." This language has posed a challenge for projects in v4/4.1 especially those in the Civic and Services categories. Those two categories are so broad and diverse that well-connected projects can get caught up by not having enough OTHER uses. I appreciate the intent behind this, e.g. not just letting a project in a retail strip earn the credit for being near a lot of stores even if the whole development is isolated and car dependent. I think removing...

Or will it entail even recycled products? Will there be support in regeneration of old products to new products ensuring zero carbon emission, net zero embodied carbon in these products? As a designer, I would like for verification...
