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?

The Reference Guide provide list of basic services categories, how many services of each category can be counted? (ex. can we count 2 worship palces, 2 gyms, 2 hospitals... I'm sure we can count 2 restaurants) I'm taking about LEED C&S V2009. Thank you,

"with the exception of restaurants, no service may be counted more than once in the calculation. Up to 2 restaurants may be counted toward achievement of this credit." Page 28 of the reference guide so you can only count each category once except you can count two restaurants
