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?

Basic Services within Hotel Project

I am working on a Hotel that has a laundry facility on-site for guest use, and also offers valet dry-cleaning services and grocery shopping services for guests. Am I able to count any of these towards the basic services for the hotel?

Hi Annalise! You can count one basic service within your project as long as it is open to the public, which it sounds like these may not comply.

bsolutely agree! It’s crucial to follow the owner’s specific guidelines when it comes to operating a laundry or food service. For laundry services, especially, understanding the owner’s preferred processes and standards ensures consistency and quality. Estimating things on your own without clear documentation can lead to confusion or issues down the line. Always make sure to get the proper information from the right people and have a solid rationale if you need to make any adjustments
