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.

Graded Site - Previously Developed Site

For a Distributuion Center  project located in an industrial park , the developer enhanced the mechanical soil properties through grading the whole site area. This happened approximately two years before the site  purchase.

May I classify a graded site (for enhance soil mechancal properties) like a Previously Developed Site?.

The initial state of the site before the purchase can be seen in the following link:

Hi Pedro, Did you get any feedback on that? I would also like to confirm if a graded site can be considered as previously developed.

Pedro and Agata, The LEED Reference Guide (p.15 has a section on previous developed), states "Land that has only been cleared or graded, with no additional improvements, is not considered previously developed." Kara
