If we go to the option 2 in SSc7.1, do we need SRI>29 for road.

If we are going to go with option 2 of the credit SSc7.1 - puting more than 50% of car parking to under the building structure. Can we achieve the credit without provide the exterior hard surface outside the building boundary to have an SRI more than 29 or permeable surface?

Somsak, If you are going with Option 2 - 50% of parking is covered, you do not have to provide exterior hardscape with a SRI of 29 or greater.
