Fife’s Green Factor policy holds that in order to receive a project permit, new developments, redevelopments and construction sites must have a landscaping plan that achieves the green factor. Plans meet the green factor by implementing green factor elements, each of which have a score. The total green factor score that must be met is calculated by dividing “the green area factor by the lot area”. Each green factor element has a correlated multiplier, which is used to calculate the green factor.
The green factor elements include green roofs.
