A schools project in a suburban location is building on a previously developed site. The project
site area is 174,240 SF. The building footprint is 65,000 SF and there are 20,000 SF of access
roads and parking area. There is 30,000 SF of protected habitat on the site. How much more does
the project have to restore to earn a Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Development-Protect or Restore
Habitat?
A: 14,620 SF
B: 54,620 SF
C: 24,620 SF
D: 17,848 SF

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:


See SS Credit 5.1 Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Development-Protect or Restore Habitat

The project must use Case 2 because the site was previously developed. So 50% of the site,

excluding building footprint, or 20% of the total site area, including the building footprint must be
restored, whichever is greater.


(174,240 - 65,000) * 0.5 = 54,620

174,240 * 0.2 = 34,848

54,620 is the greater number, so we must restore that amount of the site. The access roads and
parking area are not included in the building footprint and are not included in the calculation. The
site already has 30,000SF of protected habitat. So the project must restore 24,640SF more than the
area already restored.
