I am having difficulty interpreting the paragraph in this credit describing how to deal with athletic fields. It seems to me that it would be acceptable to draw the LEED boundary including irrigated athletic fields (since they serve the school's daily function and are disturbed as a result of construction work) but exclude that irrigation from documentation for this credit. Has anyone taken that approach and had a successful review? Did you also pursue SSc5.2 Maximize Open Space?

Sylvia, as stated in the LEED Reference Guide (page 184), including athletic fields for this credit is optional. But if excluded, they must also be excluded for other credits—which I assume means SSc5.2.
