A project building on a previously undeveloped site has no setback and will have no open
space around the building. What is true about the ability of the project team to achieve
Sustainable Sites Credit, Site Development-Protect or Restore Habitat?
A: The project cannot achieve the credit
B: The project can achieve the credit by installing a green roof that is 20% or larger than the site area
C: The project can achieve that credit by restoring vegetation in a neighboring area at least 2x the building footprint
D: If project also achieves Development Density&Community Connectivity, a vegetated roof can be installed to achieve

参考答案: A

本题解释:
Notes:
The project cannot earn the credit because the site was originally a Greenfield site, and the
building plan has a zero-lot-line (no setback). Since the building consumes the entire site, no
habitat can be protected or restored.
A previously developed site could use a green roof to help earn this credit in combination with SS
Credit 2, but the question states that it is an undeveloped site.
