FAQs about SSc2 :

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?

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?

Laundromat vs. Central laundry in a building

Have you ever taken credit for laundry facilities in a condo or dormitory? Isn't this essentially a Laundromat/ more convenient than a Laundromat? I am not talking about a condo with a laundry machine in every unit but the central laundry facilities with coin operated machines. Any insight would be appreciated. I might be overthinking it. :)

Within the credit, the service may be located within the building, however, the service within the building MUST be open to the public. Hope this helps :)
