FAQs about SSc1 :

Do SSc1 paths pertain to the whole building or just your own space? What if our own space meets one of the SSc1 paths but the whole building does not?

What if my base building is LEED registered and not yet certified—can I still earn five points under SSc1?

Is exemplary performance available for this credit, in addition to the five points?

I am working on a project with an existing ballasted roof & am wondering if we could get this credit. It is a low slope roof so needs to have an SRI of 78 or higher.....but the roof is existing. what is an acceptable method for trying to prove compliance for this credit? Does a typical ballasted roof even qualify? Any guidance on where to start helps! Thanks!

Elliot, there is detailed guidance on how to comply with Path 5 that is accessible under the Checklists tab above. I would start there and then post back here with more specific questions.
