Inquiry

For buildings that have landscaping above a podium, rather than at the ground level, how should the SS and WE credits be applied? For example, a common strategy is for parking to be located under a building, and for the ceiling of the parking deck to be used as a vegetated courtyard above. This vegetated courtyard built on a podium often serves as the majority of the landscape area for the project.
