At least 5% of the site area must have landscaping to qualify for the credit - does this include the building footprint or can the footprint be excluded? Thank you.

The footprint is included. The glossary indicates site area as synonymous of property area, that is the total area within the legal property boundaries of a site; it encompasses all areas of the site, including constructed and non-constructed areas.
