For which project type are Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses credits maximum 6 points?

The Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses credits focus on encouraging development in areas that support sustainable transportation options and foster a mixture of uses—essentially promoting livable and walkable communities. In the LEED rating system, specific project types have different frameworks and scoring mechanisms based on their inherent characteristics and intended use.

For the Core and Shell project type, the maximum available points for these credits is set at 6. This is because Core and Shell projects typically involve the design and construction of the base building but do not encompass the fit-out or the specific tenant uses, which can impact the overall density and diversity of uses in the vicinity.

Healthcare and Schools projects, on the other hand, may receive a different point allocation as they usually involve educational and health-related facilities that can inherently support a diverse set of surrounding uses. The 'All others' category includes various other project types that may also have distinct guidelines or allowances regarding how they can earn points for these particular credits.

This structure is intended to tailor the LEED review process to better align with the unique circumstances and goals of different types of construction projects while maintaining the overarching objective of promoting sustainable environments.
