Are there any testing facilities in Europe capable of measuring SRI values? Our project can easily achieve this credit, however, we are not able to get SRI values from our suppliers.
From my point of view this is a huge obstacle for international projects.
Thank you for any suggestions.

I suggest to contact the TUV. They are testing all sorts of things and in almost all European countries. Also there are plenty of construction material testing providers in Europe. You just have to explain and provide them with the testing standard (see LEED reference guide) to be sure they are following the required procedure.

Actually one of my clients just told me that the "Fraunhofer Institut" in Stuttgart, Germany does SRI testing. They need a product sample to do that. They will also translate it into English for an extra fee. http://bit.ly/pHZG5Z

You are very welcome. I'm always glad to help especially with international projects since they are always more difficult to document.

Hey Jiri,

Were you able to contact the Stuttgart Institute? I am having a difficult time contacting them. Could you send me your contact for that institute that would be greatly appreciated.
