FAQs about SSc7.1 :

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

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?

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?

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

Support Buildings impact on Heat Island Effect

We have a project with a support building with no FTEs, hence, it is not a certifiable building according to the MPRs and we will only be using it to count the materials waste management. We are confused wether to count this area (around 1,100 sf) as hardscape area or as roof area for the Heat Island Effect credits. Has anyone documented this?

Daniela, why not include the building in the main LEED certification? That is often allowed.

The building IS located inside the LEED Boundary, eventhough it is only an electrical substation, that is why it does not comply with the MPRs.
