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?

We have a client who is leasing two entire, adjacent buildings for 12 years. They are taking on installing high SRI roof membranes and a photovoltaic canopy system in the parking lot. It seems logical that they should be able to use these for SSc1.2.5 & 1.2.11, but the wording of the credits only covers the owner having put these improvements in place previously. Can we utilize these improvements for points? Would we need to defer SSc1 until construction submittal, so they are already in place?

Yes, I would defer until the improvements are in place. The credit is meant to reward site selection, not site improvements, so any improvements should be in place to be recognized.
