Can a project earn certification if there is no space for landscaping - e.g., buildings constructed to the edge of the lot line? How should the SS prerequisites and credits be handled?
Projects that are constructed to the lot-line and have no space for landscaping may be certified, but have the following limitations: 1) points may only be awarded for SS 2.2-2.5 and WE 2.1-2.3 if a vegetated roof is installed and the vegetation meets the credit requirements; 2) no points may be awarded for SS 4.1 or SS 4.2; and 3) points may be awarded for SS 4.3 if the credit requirements are satisfied.
