LEED offer a relatively large number of points for green roofs compared to other LID technologies.
<strong>Sustainable Sites: Open space (1 point)</strong>
This credit applies to accessible green roofs on tall buildings with little other outdoor space[http://www.usgbc.org/node/2613129?return=/credits].
<strong>Sustainable Sites: site development - protect or restore habitat (up to 2 points)</strong>
This credit applies to green roofs planted with 'native and adapted vegetation' on tall buildings with little other outdoor space[http://www.usgbc.org/node/2758192?return=/credits].
<strong>Sustainable Sites: Heat island reduction (up to 2 points)</strong>
Green roofs are weighted as effectively as 'High-Reflectance' roofs in a simple calculation to determine the credit[http://www.usgbc.org/node/2613950?return=/credits].
