emily reese moody Sustainability Director, Certifications & Compliance Jacobs LEEDuser Expert 466 thumbs up September 2, 2024- 2:38 pm Hi Gwenael, Yes, underground parking spaces qualify under Opt 2. If the parking is entirely under the building, you should not need any additional compliance information. If the underground parking extends beyond the footprint of your building, then you will need to follow the guidance posted here for reference:  https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/ground-level-surface-undergroun...

Do areas with ground level landscape count towards any of the calculations? 

Also, I have area that is just ground, no landscape or hardscape is that excluded from the calculations?

Our project has 85% of parking covered by the building, but on the roof we have a vegetated area and solar panels. In the credit of Heat Island Reduction can we opt for Option 1?
