We’re can’t earn this credit now but we’d like to when we go for EBOM recertification. How can reduce the heat island affect of our building’s site hardscape over time?

Here’s some options to consider for reducing heat island affect:

Add vegetated islands to surface parking that provide both heat island reduction and stormwater infiltration benefitsInstall open-grid paving in areas like walkways, patios, plazas, and courtyards as existing hardscape ages and needs to be replacedWhen your surface parking lot needs to be repaved, consider installing a high-albedo permeable or porous paver system designed specifically for parking applications.
