FAQs about SSc2 :

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?

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?

CS-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity

Development Density - In an industrial area?

I have a Query on SS C 2 Option 1 Development Density - A Warehouse building being developed in an industrial area, can I account nearby industry buildings in the density calculation. Or only commercial and residential building can qualify for this credit, as the LEED reference guide says "…previously developed site and in a community with minimum density of 60000 SFT/Acre net" Your comments on the above please

LEED doesn't specify the type of qualifying buildings on its reference guide. Non-qualifying spaces are public roads, undeveloped public areas such as parks and water bodies. Accordingly you can count the industrial building.
