FAQs about SSc2 :

We’re pursing the onsite option. Do I have to provide the scientific names for the plants on our site?

For a previously developed site, how is existing soil restored?

Is the offsite financial support a one-time fee or is it ongoing?

NC-v4 SSc2:Site development - protect or restore habitat

Refers to Total site Area or Leed Boudary Area

1) As I read the requirements for the credit " Protect or restore habitat" I understand that the requirement of preservation of 40% of the greenfield Area  on the site refers to the 40% of Total site Area and not the 40% of the Leed Boundary Area. Is this right?

2) I have the same consideration for the Open Space Credit.  Again the the outdoor space must be greater than  the 25% if the Total site Area (not the Leed Boundary Area). Is this right?

3) As far I understand these both credits are independent  from the LEED Boundary.

Thank you!

For this credit, it is 30% (including the building footprint) of all portions of the site identified as previously disturbed. So, this is neither the total site area nor the LEED boundary. For the open space credit, it is 30% of the total site area (including building footprint). This is likely the same as the LEED boundary. I am curious why your percentages are not aligning with those given in the credit language. I would recommend giving a careful read of the LEED credit language, which is available on this website.
