NC-2009 SSc7.1:Heat Island Effect—Non-Roof

Trellises?

We are considering trellises with plants and/or vines on top to cover 50% of the parking. Although this is not quite vegetated green roof, it does put the parking under cover. What are your thoughts?

I would think this would be consider shading an not covering the parking. Thus you would comply with Option 1: Provide shading of 50% of the parking.

Crissy, I agree it does sound more toward shades. However, for Option 1, we need to cover 50% of all hardscape, not just the parking.
