Leed Exempary Performance

Front 1

Back 1

The project itself must have a density of at least double that of the average density within the calculated area

OR

The average density within an area twice as large as that for the base credit achievement must be at least 120,000 sf/acre. To double the area, use equation 2 but double the property area first. The project must not lower the existing average density of the area.
