Is there a type of gravel material that could meet the SRI requirements? Or is there a way to make gravel material meet the SRI requirements? (We are utilizing gravel for a roadway)

Shading by building and trees

To come up with an area of shaded parking, etc, do I just add up the totals of my 10AM Noon and 3PM shadings by trees and buildings?

Shade from future tree canopy within 5 years

Under SSc7.1 one strategy is to shade hardscape with trees. Is there a template or guideline that shows the average tree canopy diameter within 5 years for certain species?

I'm using a grey asphalt shingle as my roofing material and the manufacturer has no SRI or emittance information. What can I do to achieve this credit?

Underground parking compliance with the c7.1 requirements

We have a project in Riyadh, and 92 % parking is under ground ( 2 basements for parking) so we are complying the 50% parking requirements which donot require SRI Roof.

In adding up the "paved" areas, are granite curbs (between the sidewalk and street) typically included?

SRI Testing for Concrete?

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

Do you have to submit concrete for SRI testing if in the LEED-NC reference table it is listed as 35 for (new gray)? Also, do they count the intitial value or the aged 3 year value?

My question concerns what is and is not a building for LEED purposes. We are currently involved in a LEED NC project on the vast working campus of a regional utility.
