Hi! My project has all parking spaces underground exept for one handicap parking that's situated at the court yard. We really want to go for exemplary performance point and put all under cover. The landscape architecht wants to install an pergola over the parking space on the court yard. Does this count towards this credit?

Yes, the Reference Guide says that parking spaces must all be "under cover," so this is possible. It must have an SRI of at least 29.

Thank you for your response. I wasn't very clear with my question; the pergola will have a roof of plants that will give the parking space shade. So that's why I'm concern, because the roof will not be "solid". However the reference guide says that shading from trees etc is ok, that's why I'm wondering if shade from plants on a pergola is ok as well.
