Would permanent and attached seating count in roof calculations?

I have a roof of a building which has a light colored concrete surface and should in theory meet the requirements of the credit.

Dear all, Sorry in advance for this lengthy thread. In a current (European) project the certifying building will be supplied with district heat from a large city network.

I'd like to understand better how to input what is needed in Table L-1 for our solar thermal system (our solar PV system was easy to input).

Building Occupants - Daycare Center

EBOM-2009 SSc4:Alternative Commuting Transportation
posted by  Iris Amdur  on 

Our office building includes a daycare center, with approx 100 kids on a daily basis. Would the kids be factored into the calculations using the same method of transportation as their parents?

For Project outside US, Target Finder seems invalid?

Our project is located in Asia, and the Target Finder is to compare the project to a US national database, I assumed that it does not work for projects outside US.

Can Atriums or shaded open spaces still qualify for the credit?

NC-2009 SSc5.2:Site Development—Maximize Open Space
posted by  Ahmed Mosa  on 

In hot humid climates we tend to shade open spaces or design it as an Atrium, and since it's a "pedestrian oriented accessible space" would this space still qualify for SS C5.2 ?

We are pursuing MRc7 on a project that I am working on, but the millwork shop does not have a COC certification.
