FAQs about LTc4 :

When it comes to satisfying the requirements for Option 1, what does the "total buildable land" take into account? And the "total building area"?

Where do we measure the radius from? In LEED 2009, we measured it from the main entry, but the LEED v4 language is different.

Hi All, Currently working on a project with a nearby building under construction. We anticipate the building construction to finish slightly after our project. Could we include this new building in the density calculation? Thanks for your help,

Hi Charline, The Reference Guide does not explicitly give an answer to your question, however I believe that this would be allowed under LEED v4. Referencing the Access to Quality Transit credit, planned transit sites are allowed to be counted if they are funded, under construction by the date of certificate of occupancy for the project building, and will be completed within 24 months of that date. If all of those parameters hold true for the nearby building under construction, I would reason it can be included in the density calculations. Hope that helps!

Hi Kimberly, Thank you for your quick response! Do you know in terms of documentation what would be required by the USGBC? We currently have a site plan of the building from the architect of the project and a presentation of the project. Thanks again!

Hi Charline, That sounds appropriate to me. The other thing that GBCI may want to see is the construction schedule, so they can verify when the building will be completed.
