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?

We are a manufacturer of rolling aluminum shutters designed for security, crowd control, and insulation. We are starting to get our product spec'd on large retail projects across US and Canada and are started to get lots of questions about our product and the LEED points it provides.

Emily Purcell Sustainable Design Lead CannonDesign LEEDuser Expert 318 thumbs up February 5, 2024- 4:52 pm Hi Edgar, One thing I've done on past projects is only fill out the calculator enough to show that any mercury containing lamps are offset, then just upload a schedule or cut sheets showing that everything else is LED.  So the calculator might have 2 lines for mercury-containing lamps and 2 more lines for LED lamps to get the final number down below 35 pg/lumen hour.
