Is an Exercise Trail a Basic Service, a park or neither?

NC-2009 SSc2:Development Density and Community Connectivity
posted by  Robert Mulcahy  on 

Can an Exercise Trail that cuts through the ½ mile radius of our construction site be considered a Basic Service or a Park? Thus allowing me to count it as one of my 10 basic services.

I am trying to determine the R-values required for a project - a major renovation to a 1940's existing building. The building structure is steel beams and columns, encased in concrete.

Rule 1113

NC-2009 IEQc4.2:Low-Emitting Materials—Paints and Coatings
posted by  Emily Catacchio  on 

Rule 1113 was amended on June 3rd 2011 and now the limit for clear wood varnish is 275. I assume updates to Rule 1113 apply to LEED. Is this correct?

A large amount of carpet was donated to us by a big local company who didn't use it all in their hotels. The carpet itself had never been used.
