Although there is great value in the intent of this credit, it is very challenging in cold climates where the rooftops are ideal spots but the weather doesn't allow for an abundance of produce.&nbs

Hi all,

Hi everyone, as my team was studying the Local food production requirements, there was a doubt about how to address to the BD+C area requirement below:

Does having an apiary on our campus count towards the amount of area reserved onsite for food production?

We're pursuing this credit along with an existing hotel certification.

LEED for Schools O&M v4 project.  This small rural school borders Yellowstone National Park.

Hello, we want to pursue this credit, but we have a doubt. Under all project description says "Herbs used for food preparation shall not exceed 25% of the area requirement.

Our project has incorporated over 1000 square feet of garden area for medicinal plants, and will use them to teach visitors about their use.

Does anyone have any experience developing a successful Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan for this pilot credit. Do you know exactly what measures or components are required?

What is the best option of water irrigation systems for a small on site food production?
