The Emerson Unitarian Church campus consists of two existing buildings and a new educational building that is going for LEED certification. The church would like to establish a policy that they maintain open space on the campus that is equal to the area of building footprint on campus. Any new construction on campus would have to be offset by an equal area of designated open space on campus. The open space would have to be preserved as such for the lifetime of the building whose footprint it offsets. Does the adoption of this policy satisfy the requirements for SS Credit 5.2? Does it exceed the requirements of SS Credit 5.2 sufficiently to be acceptable as an innovation credit as well?
