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?

How do you account for an existing roof greater than 3 years old that will remain?  Can the aged values in the manufacturer's literature be used in the calculations?

You MAY be able to get away with that (probably depends on the actual age of the material vs. that 3 year number associated with the 3 year SRI value, the material itself, and the likelihood that the SRI value would be similar despite the age), but I would recommend testing the material to determine the value instead.
