We want to show that we are shading our hardscape but performing the necessary modeling of vegetation shadows at 10am, 12noon and 3pm on the summer solstice is proving difficult.

Much of the hardscape on my project is shaded by trees that are outside of our site boundary. Is that an issue? Also, are gravel paths included in "Hardscape"?

I am working on a building for LEED Certification - it is one of several buildings on campus (the others are not going for LEED status at this time).

I'm working with a project that has 2 levels of parking underground (apprx 160 stalls) and an additional small surface lot that is less than half shaded/covered (apprx 30 stalls).

I have a project that has a detached parking garage, of which has spaces on the top level (uncovered). I also have surface parking spaces on the site...

The parking area of our project is mostly located underground but there are some parking spaces on the ground level. Based on our calculation we can meet credit Option 2 requirements.

Would a white glazed wall tile qualify for LEED credits if placed on the hardscape around an exterior pool deck?

Has anyone proved credit compliance using granite as the paving material? what's the SRI of granite?

In our project, some of the parking spaces are specific to motorcycles, with smaller areas than in car's spaces.
