Five year shade calculation.

NC-2009 SSc7.1:Heat Island Effect—Non-Roof
posted by  sara frye  on 

Apologies in advance as I know I have read the answer to my question somewhere. I just can't find it. WHEN should the five year shade calculation be performed? i.e time of day, time of year?

Does anybody have experience using an alternate compliance path for a project in a cold climate?

I have a building which wraps a round a courtyard on 3 sides and on the fourth is an existing building - this building will be maintained, this is almost all the non roof area for the project.

Hi, I am just curious to know wether LEED accounts for heat island effect that takes place because of wall just like roof ? If not then any logical reason?

We have 100% of carparking spaces located in 2 stories below ground level. All the roofs of the upper floor form the pedestrian hardscape for the plaza situated above.

What qualifies as "open grid paving"? Can a gravel bed designed to be 50% pervious qualify as "open grid paving"? Thanks

I'm looking to find the SRI value of weather beige concrete and weathered beige exposed aggregate concrete. Does anyone know where I can find these values?
