We are certifying a Hotel Project earning credit SSc2. The Hotel has two open space restaurants located in the first floor and two terraces with vegetation and a pool accessible to everyone in the roof, also each room of the Hotel has a Balcony with vegetation. Can roof terraces count for open space SSc5.2 calculations? Only part of the roof terraces is green roof. Two: Can the vegetation in the balconies of each room count as green roof?

Catalina, Because you are earning SSc2, I would think you can count the entire roof terrace area as the reference guide states examples of urban open space include "pocket parks, accessible roof decks, plazas and courtyards." What type of vegetation is on the balconies? I would think unless it is an actual green roof, it cannot be considered as such.
