FAQs about SSc2 :

Is it okay to use dish soap to clean exterior windows if the product is Environmental Choice CCD 146 certified?

The performance metric for maintenance equipment is confusing. What do we need to track to show credit compliance?

We don’t have 100% adoption of environmentally preferred deicers. What performance metric should we use to show we meet the 20% compliance threshold?

We don’t have 100% adoption of environmentally preferred paint/sealants. What performance metric should we use to show we meet the 20% compliance threshold?

Our vendor brings some maintenance equipment to the site to perform work. Do we need to include this in our equipment inventory and performance metrics?

Andrea, all buildings have exteriors so there is no landscape threshold to be eligible for this credit.

Hi Andrea, your post mentioned water efficiency so I wanted to note that there is a landscape area requirement for WEc3: Water Efficient Landscaping. At least 5% of the total site area within the LEED project boundary must be vegetated to pursue the credit (so the site area value in the calculation would include the building footprint, hardscape areas, parking footprint, etc). But Tristan is correct that there’s no minimum landscaping threshold for SSc2 or SSc3.
