Private terrace

My C&S project has a terrace on the 1st floor (below there is only the parking garage). That terrace is only accessible by the Meeting Room, which is used by the building users.

I've heard recently that Sedum roofs are no longer being accepted as providing enough habitat to achieve 5.1. Is there any truth to this?

I'm reviewing a project that will install skylight for basement parking. The skylight and the building footprint is inside the project boundary.

We have a cooling tower and emergency generator adjacent to our building that is on a concrete pad and surrounded by a screen enclosure. Should this area count as part of the building footprint?
