How many points can Core and Shell projects earn for Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses under the LT Credit?

Core and Shell projects can earn a maximum of 6 points for Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses under the Location and Transportation (LT) credit category. This credit aims to promote development in areas with greater density and a mix of uses, supporting walkability and reducing reliance on personal vehicles. The intent is to create vibrant neighborhoods that encourage various activities and minimize the environmental impact associated with transportation.

The scoring is broken down based on the proximity of essential services such as grocery stores, schools, parks, and public transit options, as well as the overall density of the area. The maximum point value reflects the focus on incentivizing projects that not only enhance immediate community interaction but also support sustainable urban development patterns. Other answer choices reflect points that are either too low or do not align with the maximum possible score specified in the LEED BD+C V4 guidelines.
