NC-2009 SSc5.1:Site Development—Protect or Restore Habitat

A site with large building footprint

Hello, Mine is a greenfield site that has a building footprint that takes almost the entire land. So once I add the allowed clearances for site disturbance the entire site becomes eligible for disturbance. Is there any specific guidance on how we can attempt this credit for this particular project? Thank you.

Magda, I don't think credit compliance is affected by this situation. If you meet the disturbance limits, you're all set.

Magda - Have you gone through review with this credit yet? Other LEED credits specifically state that you can't achieve a credit that doesn't apply to your site and I'm a little concerned that a fully disturbed site might not be considered as meeting the credit intent, in spite of the fact that it meets the credit requirements.
