FAQs about LTc2 :

For an international project, what if a local equivalent for identifying sensitive habitat cannot be determined?

How is “previously developed land” defined by LEED?

If we pursue Option 1 do we have to honor the water body buffer of 100 feet and the flood hazard zones?

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.

Rice fields would not count because the express purpose of this credit is to protect greenfield sites from development, specifically the following types: prime farm land (which it sounds like this qualifies as), floodplains, species habitats, water bodies, and wetlands. Examples of previously developed land, which the credit is encouraging use thereof, are the following (but not limited to): parking lots, adaptive reuse of the shell of an older structure, and the sites of unused quarries or mines.
