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.

How are student residence halls classified on a college campus? Since these buildings are not occupied throughout the year and the residents change from one year to the next, do we include them in our residential density calculation the same as private apartments or condos?

In the past, I have successfully used residence halls to satisfy the residential density quota on US projects for documenting this credit. While transient in nature, residence halls tend to be occupied year round, and their proximity within campuses encourages the occupants to walk/rely on alternative transit options, which is in the spirit of this credit.
