Dear all,
I noticed something peculiar in my last project.
When I entered the values of open space area and vegetated open spaces area, it gave me as result higher value than logically explainable. I don't know how to understand this, I've already checked the reference guide and I am still unable to figure it out.
So, 25% of whole open space area has to be vegetated. In my case, it is 1600 sq m out of 2500 sq m of total open space, about 64%. The form calculated the ratio to be 130%. Is it taking something else in account? The ratio for "Area of open space/total site area" was calculated correctly.
Many thanks in advance

I don't know what's going on with this, but it's not just you! I'm seeing the same on the last two projects I completed this form on.

Ha. We've been trying to figure out this error, too. Our reviewers did not flag it as an issue in our first round, though we do have other aspects to fix. My googling did not come up with an answer, so for now, I'm assuming it's either (a) an error that showed up when they converted to the html forms in LOL (it was not an issue in my older v4 projects that already completed certification), or (b) something became weighted and makes the calcs weird like in the Heat Island form.

Oh well, as long as logic works the form's calculator is not even neccessary, I am guessing the review teams take this into consideration :)
I am happy I did not miss any special factor adding to the result, I am fresh in the game and even easiest of things can get me confused :D
Thanks for the reassurance!
