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).

Hello, The project we are working on does not have any parking lots or Non roof hardscape surfaces (building footprint occupies all the site). Is this credit still achievable ?

The reference guide indicates that parking should be included in the hardscape area - this is good because much of the parking at our project uses an open grid paving system.

My project is currently assessing which credits for EBOMv2009 can be achievable by reviewing the LEEDonline forms. For credit SSc7.1 the project will achieve compliance via Option 2.

The parking lot is shaded by the building for much of the measured time, but the building is not "an architectural device(s) or structure(s) that have a SRI of at least 29".

A separated 6-storey parking garage under the same management of our project building located next to our project site.
