Dear Forum,
I am submitting an alternative path for compliance, in that even though the vegetation reflection and emission properties of the leaves of my vegetated roof shading is only SRI 23, we say that to be consistent with the rest of the LEED system (i.e. SSc7.1), I should consider this surface also as qualifying.
Has this been tried before?

Jean, shading the non-roof hardscape surfaces with trees is standard compliance path for this credit. If the surface itself is already vegetated and not hardscape, it doesn't fall under the scope of this credit. So, I don't think an alternate compliance path may be necessary here.
