I'm curious on what everyone thinks about permeable areas covered with gravel; are these considered landscape areas and account for the 5% landscape area requirement?

We are in the PP but do not have our low-water landscaping installed. A contract will be signed to install it prior to the end of the PP. Has anyone obtained the credit this way?

I have a zero lot line project, so all landscaped areas are within planters on the plaza level, or in tree wells in the sidewalk.

Our project has installed water meters for Irrigation just recently at the start of performance period. The project uses 100% of treated water for Irrigation which is metered.

We performed a full audit of the irrigation system and some of the findings were to turn off zones that are watering established plants or mulch areas.

Are there any significant changes in the baselines for WEc3 between NC 2.2/2008 and EBOM 2009?

According to the glossary of the refernce guide, the 'landscape area' is the the total site area less the building footprint, paved surfaces, water bodies and patios.
