We are working in the renovation of a zero-lot building in a city center, so the building footprint occupies all the construction site, we don't have site hardscape.

Hi Of all 60 parking spaces only one is located above ground. We really want to put open-grid paving as material for this parking space that is not under ground.

Can the metal grates used where trees are planted in a hardscape count as open paver area [as long as the 50% open grid is achieved]?

Would entry stairs to the building be considered part of the building footprint, or part of the site hardscape? Thanks.

Is the impervious hardscape area at podium considered as the non-roof hardscape?

We have a high rise commercial office building project is going to pursue LEED CS certification. And I have two questions for the heat island effect calculation need your kindly help: 1.

If we are going to go with option 2 of the credit SSc7.1 - puting more than 50% of car parking to under the building structure.

I am working on a commercial building with an underground parking lot. 100% of all parking spaces are in this lot.

Hi!
