I am working on a HR tower with "virtually" no roof. The upper most portion of the tower is converging to a very narrow; curved glazed concrete-framed structure with no flat roof. Does it contribute to credit SSc7.2 compliance? Also, for credit SSc7.1; does vertical surfaces of the tower providing shade to adjacent hardscape contribute to credit compliance; or it should be only horizontal shading surfaces?

Even if you have no flat roof at all, the steep-sloped roof does count too. See the graphic above. You will probably count from the point the vertical surface starts angling towards the top. As for SS 7.1 you may want to ask you question there, so other LEEDUser can find the answer also. Good luck with your project!

Hi, we are working on a project that I can relate as having no roof for this reason: The LEED scope is only up to a certain no. of floors (e.g up to 20th floor only of the building) The rest of the floors up to the highest floor are not in the LEED scope anymore. Does this mean the project automatically compllies for Heat Island - Roof and gets the point? Or is it inelligible wherein we cannot attempt the point? Thank you!

Is this a LEED Core & Shell Project or a LEED Commercial Interiors project? I ask because it sounds like LEED CI if the LEED scope does not include the exterior components of the building including the roof.
