What type of projects can earn a maximum of 1 point for Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses under LT Credit?

The correct response is that healthcare projects can indeed earn a maximum of 1 point for Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses under the Location and Transportation (LT) credit category. This credit aims to promote sustainable land use by encouraging the development of projects in areas with a higher density of diverse uses within close proximity.

Healthcare facilities often serve as key community hubs, making them valuable in terms of surrounding density and nearby services. By situating such projects in locations that offer diverse uses—such as residential, commercial, and recreational spaces—these facilities can enhance accessibility and minimize the reliance on automobiles, aligning with the intent of the LT credit.

Other project categories, such as core and shell or various other building types, might not have the same provisions or context for earning points specifically under this credit. This distinction highlights the unique role that healthcare projects can play in contributing to the sustainability goals outlined in the LEED certification framework.
