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.

Is there any guidance on how to calculate the area of edible nut and fruit bearing trees? I assume we could calculate the area based on the position of the tree trunks or the tree crown.

We are exploring this pilot credit for a back of house hotel building and would like to use hydroponics.

In order for a school to meet Option 3: Supporting a local Farm, does there have to be both a financial contribution and volunteering involved or can it just be one of them?
