There are no basic concerns with the Sustainable Sites credit category, as the credit/points are all within the building sphere of control. The credit category may be underweighted at 2 points. Rainwater Management, Heat Island Reduction, and Light Pollution Reduction all provide long-term benefits, and perhaps an increase in points would provide a more significant incentive to pursue this credit/points. This category fails to acknowledge the operation labor force required to maintain stormwater systems and landscaping. Two (2) points allocated to prerequisites for Equity Within Operations and Maintenance Staff are insufficient.
