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 these classified for calculating surrounding density? Dormitories? Hotels?

Hotels definitely nonresidential. Dormitories are basically hotels and the same, though some configurations might be considered residential.

Are commercial parking garage's able to be counted, or would they be excluded?

Hello Laura,  As per LEED v4 BD+C Reference Guide -" Do not include project buildings or non-habitable space, such as parking garages." So, the whole building used as a commercial parking garage should be excluded.  Thanks!
