FAQs about SSc5 :

My project has a balcony that projects away from the building, and does not provide a roof to an enclosed space for the building. How should the balcony be treated for this credit?

Should we include motorcycle parking spaces in our total parking count for the Parking Under Cover option?

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

What if I need to have a material tested?

Can I exclude functional usable areas like recreation courts or rooftop patios?

If the manufacturer cannot provide the SR or SRI values, can standard values be used based on the color of the material?

If the top floor of a parking garage includes parking spaces, is it considered a roof or non-roof surface?

In LEED v4, are there standard allowed SRI values for things like concrete, as in LEED 2009?

How should we account for off-site parking under this credit?

  Typed to quickly in previous post. My questions are with regards to Cedar Wood Decking. Do we include/exclude from Pavement Materials from CS-v4 SSc5? If so, What is the SR Value? Thank you!

Hi Leilanie,  Yes, the wood decking would be included as part of your non-roof materials in the calculations. As for the SR info, you'll need to inquire with the supplier/manufacturer; if they don't have the info available, you may need to have it tested. If that is not feasible for the project, you should likely assume that it does not comply with the reflectivity requirements.
