Plaza at grade building above.

Thanks for the reply, another question regarding the adjacent alley which is beside the building . . . so long as the building has an SRI>29 am I able to factor in the shading (average shading) produced by the building? I see in the checklist provided above for this credit as well as an earlier post that 'You cannot count shading cast from the building itself, as your project building does not cover non-building hardscape area from an aerial view. However, you can count canopies that protrude from buildings and shade hardscapes.' If this is the case, it does not seem very logical to me in my case as the adjacent alley is rather narrow and the building's on either side over 8 stories tall so the alley will be mainly shaded for a majority of the time.
