Purcell Sustainable Design Lead CannonDesign LEEDuser Expert 369 thumbs up October 13, 2021- 11:43 am Hi Courtney, the offset would basically be 400m / 0.25 mi from the LEED boundary line in any direction. A "buffer" function in a GIS program could do this, or you could do it manually in a graphics or PDF editor by taking a few line measurements from the boundary and connecting them.  I think these illustrations...

a lot of work with a relatively small amount of refrigerant, are we just excluding all buildings like this from this credit?  I realise it is only one point, but it doesn't seem logical.  Cheers EAc6...

I investigated the new option 3 for this credit. The only information required is a screenshot of the Walkscore. That seems a lot easier than showing density calculations etc, could be an option for some projects. However, I noted that Walkscore says on the website that they only support the US, Canada, Australia and New Zeeland. Although I get results on my Swedish addresses that seem accurate. I contacted Walkscore, they say that “Walk Score is not supported in Sweden. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, or missing entirely.” Does this mean that LEED would or would not accept that I use option 3? (I...

format I find it a lot harder to search through the questions and responses.  We have to click on a specific question (taking a guess that the question relates to what we are researching), and after...

In the v4 handbook, the requirements read that, "such interior spaces may be used to meet up to 30% of the required area if 90% of each qualifying space's gross floor area achieves a direct line of sight to unobstructed views of nature." Does this mean that at least 70% of respite areas must be outside? If so, is this credit not achieveable if all respite areas are located inside? SSc7 United States ...

personal items would come withe the occupants. Also food for thought, those are probably used for more than a year and if the same thought line is followed for the LEM credits, then the personal items would...

TODD REED Energy Program Specialist PA DMVA LEEDuser Expert 888 thumbs up August 17, 2018- 1:46 pm Spaces without views are still included in the calculator as long as its regularly occupied. It would have its own line in the calculator, with its regularly occupied square footage. Under view type 1, you would place zero. There is no need to draw any view lines for spaces that do not have views. ...

boundary?  Does it matter if the demo work is performed by a different contractor under a different contract? In our case a superblock is being redeveloped into several smaller parcels, so all the lot lines...

The LEED Innovation Catalogue for Walkable Project Site requires that item #2, "A main entrance on the primary façade faces a public space such as a street, square, park, paseo, or plaza, but not a parking lot, and is connected to sidewalks. For a square, park, or plaza to qualify as a public space, it must be at least 50 feet (15 meters) deep at a point perpendicular to the main entrance." Our site is within grasp of meeting all of the criteria for the 8 of 9 required elements, however per Ite #2, the primary facade on the dominating street does not have an entrance.  The entrances...
