We are currently building a school and one of our subcontractors asked if ceiling tiles count towards Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1? I read through the forum for this credit but could not decide if the light reflectance of the white ceiling tile, 0.86%, counts towards this credit? Any help on this would be great

The ceiling reflectance potentially impacts the lighting power density and daylight dimming. So indirectly it counts but not directly.
