Hi everyone,
For option 1, non roof measures, to measure the area shaded I am doing a shadow study at the prescribed times.
But the Reference Guide makes it seem like only shade from trees or shade structures can be counted towards this.
If I have driveways that are completely shaded by buildings, surely this shaded are would count, correct? We positioned the driveways strategically on the north side of the buildings to take advantage of their shade.
Thanks

Tyler, you're right, Option 1 is limited to open structures, such as canopied walkways and vine pergolas, and tree canopies. So you'd have to try a CIR for your adjacent building strategy.
