the average height weighted by each segment's linear share of the total block length was a bit cumbersome. While the team agreed that this was a valuable credit and in line with the intent of LEED,...

lots, and uses and nothing else than the supermarket is being certified LEED. The leaser is constructing a new supermarket and the old building that was in that place was turned down, so just the store is being reconstructed, no roads, exterior lights, pavement, parking lots, just the supermarket. The supermarket has control of the land where the supermarket will be, but not the roads, or the walkways...

Our project preliminary review points toward gerrymandering the LEED project boundary. It is a golf course clubhouse with geothermal pond on an existing putting green and paths. We included a tight lot line (20 feet from structure) around the building itself plus a tight line around the adjacent pond. The access road to the clubhouse and adjacent villas are not part of the LEED construction project and are being designed and built by an entirely different team. We are not sure how to adjust the LEED project boundary when we have no information or documentation on the access road or the villas....

Dear all, we have the following situation with one of our projects. The project we are certifying is a laboratory building that is a part of the big existing factory site. We would like to try to follow both SSc4.3 and SSc4.4 credits' requirements. So for 4.4 we re going to follow option with no new parking (the moving within boundary of factoy site will be prohibited so there is no point in making any new parking). But for 4.3 compliance we're going to use existing parking situated outside of the whole factory site and make 5% of existing parking lots preferred for LEV/FEV. Do anybody...

Pending our participation in this forum, we have met all the documentation requirements for this pilot credit, so I thought I would share some tips. 1) Potential Design Strategy: Our project is a high school and when designing the open staircases we chose to extend the staircase into the common area creating additional seating. In other words, we turned our open staircases into multi-use stadium seating. The space has become a design feature that is getting a lot of use by students and faculty. 2) Documentation: When providing pictures of design features consider providing a floor plan...

and it's parking lot, because it is the area supports the normal operation of the building going for LEED. The rest of the site, while part of the same parcel, will be developed at the same time,...

Now that the new LEED Online credit forms are active, we're required to upload a site plan for ID+C projects. Previously this was optional. As it's an interior-only project, I'm assuming we can just draw a line around the construction plan, and our site plan will be the same as our LEED project boundary. Has anyone else grappled with this yet? PIf4 ...

The project I am working for does not pay for any toner cartridges as they are included in the maintenance contract. In this case, shall we count it zero or need to get the standard price if they purchase them? Thanks. MRc1 Japan ...

Submitting the following: 1. Continuous sidewalks. 2. Main entrance on the primary façade faces a public space. 3. The primary façade has a minimum building-height-to-street center line ratio of 1:1.5. 4. Any new off-street parking is located at the rear or interior side of the building. 5. Newly constructed sidewalks are at least 10 feet (2.5 meters) wide. 6. No more than 20% of the street frontage includes garage or service bay openings. 7. At-grade crossings with driveways account for no more than 10% (or 20 feet [6 meters], whichever is greater) of the length of sidewalks that are adjacent...

Hi all, We have a question about LEED boundary calculation as below: In order to save the land, our company has set up a shared parking lot in the area, so this project does not have new parking spaces. The parking lots, which we call it “Traffic Center” is built for the whole surrounding building, including this project. The traffic center is located at the northwest of the project site. Both traffic center and the LEED Project are belong to the same owner.Our project team also have permission to use these parking lots.Traffic Center are not calculated into the LEED boundary. Question: 1. can...
