SSc7.1: Heat Island Effect—Non-Roof

Hello, Our project have 346 parking spaces on 4 underground levels , only 35 will be outside and will not be covered. Since we have more then 50% parking spaces under ground, we can achieve the credit. 2 questions: - 16 out of 35 exterior spaces will be located on the roof top of a small part of the underground garage. Do we have to apply IRS 29 for this area? - How can we achieve an exemplary performance for this credit? Would it be possible if all exteriors constructed surfaces on site including the exterior parking area have 29 IRS? For example using new coating and integral colorant for asphalte to achieve light- colored surfaces instead of black top? Thank you

You have to choose an option and than earn an Innovation in Design credit for exemplary performance by demonstrating that either (1) 100% of nonroof impervious surfaces have been constructed with high-albedo or open-grid paving, or will be shaded within 5 years; or (2) 100% of the on-site parking spaces have been located under cover. Can you cover your 35 exterior spaces with PV panels or SRI>29 surfaces or other compliant design features?
