I have a project with underground parking under the entire footprint of the site. About 70% of the parking is covered by the building, and 30% is covered by a ground-level courtyard accessible from the public sidewalk. Is the courtyard considered roof or hardscape? Would one count it towards this credit and SSc7.2? Or one or the other? If I count it as roof in SSc7.2 only, the project would essentially have no hardscape to include towards SSc7.1. Thanks, in advance, for your input!

E H, I would definitely include it in only one or the other. As to choosing one, I would tend to count is as roof area, per that LEED definition.
