FAQs about SSc7.1 :

Projects that provide covered parking are eligible for points under this credit, but what if a project provides no parking?

I do not know the SRI value of my hardscape materials. What can I do?

How do I find a lab for getting SRI values? What will it cost?

I have a mix of various hardscape types with different SRI values. Can I apply a weighted average to see if my project complies?

Should I use the SRI value of new or weathered concrete for my project?

What is hardscape? Is a gravel surface considered hardscape? How about artificial turf? Wood? Tennis courts?

There is a reflecting pool on our site. What is the SRI of water? Should we include that in our calculations?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

For a LEED for Schools project I'm working on. What exactly does LEED define as a 'any combination of strategies' as listed in Option 1 for credit compliance with SSCr7.1? Is there a minimum number of the 5 strategies stated I need to comply with, or can one strategy be considered a combination? Sorry but I'm fairly new to LEED.

Shakir,Under Option 1 you can apply any of the 5 strategies, this means you can do 1, 2, etc. or all 5.
