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.

NC-v4 LTc2:Sensitive land protection

Green field but planned for development in an industrial zone

Dear All,

I have a project which will be built on a lot located in a industrial zone. The lot is used to be natural land but filled up with sand now.

Can we claim this land is no longer natural land and "previously developed" as planned for industrial construction?

Best regards,

Tom

Yes, this is a perfect example - based on your description - of "previously developed" land. The goal of this credit is to incentivize projects to not destroy natural land, wetlands, parks, farmland, etc. By reusing this site, you're adhereing to the intend of the credit.
