Has anyone encountered a project where the client or other circumstances suggested we look into purple roof solution. From the looks of it, it's a green roof solution with optimized stormwater rentention by adding a stormwater dentention feature. Since it does uses a vegetated green roof on the outer layer, can you just consider this as a vegetated roof area when adding it in the LEED Online form for this credit?

I've had clients wanting to look into this combo, but haven't had one do it yet. I see no reason why this scenario would not qualifty; you should be good to go.
Since this could potentially be related to the Protect/Restore Habitat and Open Space credits, just be on the lookout for the synergies and those requirements if you intend to pursue them, also.
