A site has reflective pavement (SRI 29+) that is partially shaded by trees. Do I count that area as shaded and subtract it from the area of reflective pavement? Otherwise that area will be counted twice (i.e. doubled) in LEED table ssc7.1-2 of the form.

Karen,
I would suggest counting the areas that have reflective pavement and shading as the higher SRI parking spaces and NOT count them as partially shaded. This method should only count the spaces once.

I didn't see a note mentioning that the area was parking so I was a bit confused on your response Crissy. I have the same issue, it is an open space dining area where its a plus SRI of 29 and we have quite a bit of tree cover. Are you saying we can use either the total sf of the paving area that is plus SRI 29 OR we use the area of shade on the paving but not both?

Salvador - Count the area for one (shaded) or the other (High SRI), don't double count an area. Each area is in only one of the two categories. Once you have areas counted up, you can add shaded and high SRI areas together to get a total. Is that your question?
