FAQs about SSc5.2 :

What if my local code has a landscaping requirement? Is this the same as an open space requirement?

Can permeable paving count as hardscape or vegetation towards SSc5.2 calculations?

Can interior courtyards contribute to vegetation requirements?

Can a project designate open space off-site and not within the LEED project boundary to meet the credit requirements?

Which approach should a project take if the LEED project boundary covers two areas with different zoning requirements?

The credit requirements state the open space area must be ‘adjacent’ to the project. Does the designated site area need to be right next to the project building?

I'm confused about the difference between SSc5.1 and SSc5.2. Can I earn them both?

Can roof terraces contribute to SSc5.2?

How should I count planters and vegetation on balconies?

Green roof

If my green roof is covered half with vegetation and half with wood, can it contribute to the open space area? If yes, can all the roof area contribute to the credit compliance, or only the amount of sq ft covered with vegetation? The roof is accessible for tenants and we apply for SSc2 Development Density.

Alicja, see the FAQ above about roof terraces. It sounds like this applies here.
