Permeable Paving - "vegetated open space"

NC-2009 SSc5.2:Site Development—Maximize Open Space
posted by  Lauren Sparandara  on 

If our permeable paving has grass growing through it could that count as both hardscape for SSc7.1 and for vegetated open space in SSc5.2?

SSc5.2: Case 1 or Case 3?

Greetings from Taiwan! Our project is located in a science park that does have requirements for "open space" and "green space," which would indicate that we employ Case 1 to achieve this credit.
