Hi everyone, I’m working on a project registered under LEED 2009 C&S Rating System. In my project’s internal courtyard, there are some skylights for lighting and ventilation of the technical rooms placed into the building basement. Am I required to count them through my non-roof hardscape surface calculation? I understood that skylights are not included in roof surface calculation, but I couldn’t find a similar exemption definition for non roof surfaces. Thank you in advance!

No I would not them in your non roof hardscape surfaces as they are just glass.

Alessio, I would think about whether this area should be counted under SSc7.2 as a roof. It sounds like a green roof to me.
