We have a clinic project that is seeking LEED HC certification, but I got a question on SSc9.1. Do we have to comply with the first half of the requirement for the size of the areas, and then the 30% of it MUST be indoor area, 50% of it MUST be “special-garden”? The reference guide is very ambiguous on this, as it is stating “…..spaces MAY be used to meet up XX% of required areas…..” Please help, cheers.
I thought the intent was to allow you to count compliant interior spaces as 'nature' and not to require that you have interior gardens.
