This credit requires "dedicated walking or biking lanes to the transit lines that extend from the school building at least to the end of the school property in 2 or more directions without any barriers (e.g., fences) on school property". If our campus is small with basically one road in and out, would 1 path be acceptable that leads out to the main road where the transit lines are located? SSc4.1 ...

We are a general contractor, and these days we've been doing a lot of tenant improvements around the city. As a demonstration tool for what we're capable of, we'd like to pursue LEED CI without breaking the bank, so to speak. The thing is, we own this building (which is about 25 years old with a small 5 year old addition) and occupy the entire space and don't want to do any major rework of the envelope, structure or HVAC system. With that, are we ineligible for LEED CI? SSc1 ...

This credit grew out of Green Guide for Healthcare credit MRc4.1...

(including many other LEED certified buildings). Full disclosure, I used to work for the Berkeley folks who run the survey. So I'm biased, but so are many who run POE surveys a lot- you learn so much more...

but GBCI gives the final word when it comes to certification.That said, LEEDuser was built with the expert guidance of a team of dozens of the top LEED experts in the world, many of whom have lots of experience doing LEED reviews, serving on LEED committees, and more. Our forum is filled with hundreds more people like this. There are a lot of gray areas and uncharted waters in LEED, and these folks have...

David Posada Integrated Design & LEED Specialist SERA Architects LEEDuser Expert 1980 thumbs up July 30, 2010- 3:10 pm Kelvin, The prescriptive formula has been simplified from v2.2; they no longer distinguish between Vision glazing and Daylight glazing, so use the head height to calculate your area (unless it's blocked by a soffet). Re: your question above on re-lite glazing and interior offices: It's easy enough to calculate the 8.2 Views credit with this condition, since you can trace the lines of sight through all the planes of glass, but it usually doesn't work...
