posted by  Michael Esposito  on 

Under SSc7.1 one strategy is to shade hardscape with trees. Is there a template or guideline that shows the average tree canopy diameter within 5 years for certain species?

Hello, I have a question about filling PIf1 out in leedonline, this is about complying with all the MPRs. Our building will use energy and water meters to report our data to USGBC.
