Hi, We are pursuing the credit by covering 50% of the parking places with a white polyethylene shade cloth of 70% density. The project is outside US, and we don´t have shaders labeled with SRI values to use as reference. We are sure the material comply with the credit requirement, but we couldn´t find a similar material as reference in the web. Its there any page were we can find a SRI value for a white polyethylene mesh? The exact SRI value will not be informed because we do not have the meas to make the analysis, but we suppose that the reviewer will know that this kind of material is good enough. If we present photographs of the shader cloth it would be enough to comply? Thanks

You will need to submit a sample to a lab to determine the SRI value. It is an inexpensive exercise.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply. Sending a sample to a laboratory will represent an extra cost to the owner. Is there any list of common SRI values for tipical materials that LEED supports? It seems that a white polyethylene easily comply for this credit, the lab seems unnecesary. Any other recomendation outside the analysis? Thanks

Guillermo - we are facing similar issues with SRI testing where we are located. Did you you manage to resolve the testing issue? Would be interesting to hear a follow-up!
