We have a large commercial project which employs four large square shade "umbrellas." (approximately 40 x 40 feet each). These umbrellas are collapse-able to be able to clean and to resist strong winds, etc. Can we count these? They are in the design to actually protect & shade the space, and are quite costly.

These are architectural structures approximately 30 feet tall, and will have SRI of above 29. What do you think? They are not the cafe type umbrellas.

Charles, I have never worked on a project that used shade structures like this. However, I would suggest that you include them in the calculation especially since you know the SRI value.
