What happens if I have a building whose footprint is considerably smaller in comparison to the site size and I have 100% of the parking sites underground, can I achieve the credit no matter the SRI of the paving materials of the site? I think that the credit intent might be lost if I don't install SRI compliant materials.

Gabriela, this credit does not account for site size. You'll need to meet the requirements for the nonroof hardscape that you have.

I´m confused, the reference guide says for option 2 as follow: "Place a minimum of 50% of parking spaces under cover. Any roof used to shade or cover parking must have an SRI of at least 29, be a vegetated green roof or be covered by solar panels that produce energy used to offset some nonrenewable resource use.", but option 2 of the form leaves the chance to complete parking under cover with no reflective materials, and still comply with the credit.

Yes, undercover parking is an option. I thought your question was whether a large site changed the requirements.
