In my understanding all roof areas that are not counted for heat island effect - non roof should be counted for heat island effect - roof credit. Is that correct?

Am I missing something in this. In our project, we have about 60,000 SF of roof area with 0.85 Solar Reflectance, 0.89 Thermal Emittance, & calculated SRI of 107.1.

If solar panels on our building‘s roof are serving another building‘s energy needs, can we still exclude these solar panels from calculations as mechanical equipment?

Hi all - just a question as I am new to this... I am looking to get certification for an existing building (EBOM) and I have all the drawings in CAD - however, under normal circumstances, there are

This isn't specifically a LEED EBOM Credit question-but very pertinent as we discuss the improved performance of an exisiting building. We’re working on a project study for life-cycle costing of a

Our goal was to submit for certification tomorrow February 13, 2015.
