FAQs about SSc2 :

For Option 2, does the residential neighborhood with average density of 10 units per net acre have to be existing, or can planned neighborhoods count towards earning this option?

What site area should be used for an interiors project when figuring out the density radius? The building site area, or building footprint?

Is my site previously developed?

What exactly does LEED mean by residential neighborhood or area?

Only a portion of my complying residential development lies within the ½-mile radius. Will this suffice for credit compliance?

Where do I draw the radius from?

Is one building or residential area enough to satisfy the residential density requirement?

My project has access to services that seem to be basic, but are not listed in the LEED Reference Guide—like insurance company, nail salon, auto repair shop. Will these count?

My project is on a base or campus where some services are available to the population of the project, but not the general public. Do these count?

Hi all, how can a fit-out that is to be certiifed by commercial interiors be a "greenfield development" ? Surely once the core and shell project is completed, the fit-out is on a previously developed site. This should be true even if it is the first fit-out in a new building that was built on a greenfiled site

HI Ken, The CI reference guide specifically states that "greenfield developments and projects that do not use existing infrastructure are not eligable." I agree with your assumption that a TI space moving into a building, even a new one, is moving into a "previously developed" condition.
