NC-2009 SSc7.1:Heat Island Effect—Non-Roof

Carparking spaces located under ground level

We have 100% of carparking spaces located in 2 stories below ground level. All the roofs of the upper floor form the pedestrian hardscape for the plaza situated above. In addition the plaza is located 7 meters below ground level and it is an open space to sky. We would like to follow Option 2. Questions: 1) Can we consider the parking as underground parking spaces 2) Does the pedestrian hardscape have an SRI requirement? Thanks in advance for your help

1) Yes, your parking will be considered 100% of spaces are underground. 2) The pedestrian hardscape should have an SRI of at least 29. If you have concrete you will meet this requirement as concrete is SRI 30.
