To comply with the open space SS credit, project teams must provide outdoor space equivalent to at least what percentage of the total site area?

  1. 20%

  2. 30%

  3. 40%

  4. 50%

The correct answer is: 30%

The correct requirement for compliance with the open space SS credit in the LEED rating system is to provide outdoor space equivalent to at least 30% of the total site area. This open space is meant to enhance the connection between the built environment and nature, support biodiversity, and improve community health and well-being. Providing this percentage of open space helps ensure that projects contribute to sustainable landscapes and provide recreational areas for occupants. Having this outdoor space encourages passive and active outdoor recreation, thus fostering a healthier lifestyle and offering ecological benefits. In contrast, the other options either meet lower or higher percentages than what's stipulated by the LEED guidelines. Achieving the right balance of open space is vital for sustainability, and understanding the specific requirement helps project teams focus their designs effectively.
