FAQs about SSc7.1 :

Projects that provide covered parking are eligible for points under this credit, but what if a project provides no parking?

Should I use the SRI value of new or weathered concrete for my project?

What is hardscape? Is a gravel surface considered hardscape? How about artificial turf? Wood? Tennis courts?

There is a reflecting pool on our site. What is the SRI of water? Should we include that in our calculations?

Should I consider motorbikes and parking spaces for them under this credit? What about fleet vehicles?

I do not know the SRI value of my hardscape materials. What can I do?

How do I find a lab for getting SRI values? What will it cost?

I have a mix of various hardscape types with different SRI values. Can I apply a weighted average to see if my project complies?

NC-2009 SSc7.1:Heat Island Effect—Non-Roof

Covered parking - fabric covers?

We are working on a project where we want to use a fabric parking cover, and the manufacturers do not seem to have the SRI values or equivalent to calculate 29 SRI. Does anyone have experience with using this sort of structure to meet the "Covered Parking" requirement of the credit? The project is located in the Middle East so heat, dust and sand are more critical than water for the cover.

Jonathan, since your question was posted a while ago I was wondering if you found any resources on this? I don't supposed the manufacturer has any insight?I would contact the Cool Roof Rating Council, or the Heat Island Group at LBNL, to see if they have any ideas.
