FAQs about LTc2 :

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.

CI-v4 LTc2:Surrounding density and diverse uses

Surrounding density calculations-Public rights-of-way

I am working for a CI project. The project space is located in very isolated factory area where not many buildings are located and therefore we are extremely low on points for this credit. I am considering the buildable land area as the total 50.26 ha (including public rights-of-way).

I would like to know what exactly are public rights-of-way? Does it include the roads, footpaths etc. If so can I exclude them from the buildable land area?

Hello Mahesh,  Buildable land is defined as the portion of the site where construction can occur, including land voluntarily set aside and not constructed on. When used in density calculations, buildable land excludes public rights-of-way and land excluded from development by codified law. All buildable land, both developed and not, must be included. Usually buildable land excludes public streets (roads) or public rights-of-way, public parks, railway tracks, rivers, lakes, and land excluded from development by law. Typically, a 400-meters radius includes around 50 hectares, so your assumptions of buildable land area as the total 50.26 hectares  (including public rights-of-way) seems quite reasonable. Yes, you can exclude roads, footpaths etc. from the  buildable land area.  Hope it helps!
