Sedums as Habitat

I've heard recently that Sedum roofs are no longer being accepted as providing enough habitat to achieve 5.1. Is there any truth to this?

I'm reviewing a project that will install skylight for basement parking. The skylight and the building footprint is inside the project boundary.

We have a cooling tower and emergency generator adjacent to our building that is on a concrete pad and surrounded by a screen enclosure. Should this area count as part of the building footprint?
