FAQs about SSc7.1 :

Our building doesn’t have any onsite parking. Can we earn this credit by documenting that we don’t provide parking to occupants?

How can we calculate the SRI of our existing hardscape materials?

Many of our building occupants use parking that’s outside the LEED project boundary and is not owned or maintained by building management or tenants (for example, city-owned street parking or a parking garage owned by another property manager). Do we in

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?

Parking spaces under a bridge

The parking area of our project is mostly located underground but there are some parking spaces on the ground level. Based on our calculation we can meet credit Option 2 requirements. However, some of the ground level parking spaces are shaded by a traffic bridge. In my opinion, this might comply with under cover definition. Do we need to consider SRI of the road surface? We presume we need to provide shading analysis for this part of parking area on the summer solstice. Thank you.

Martin, I think your approach should work. Do you know the SRI of the road surface? Asphalt has a SRI of 0 and gray concrete has a SRI of 35. It should be sufficient if you provide a shading analysis for this section of the parking area without including the SRI of the road.
