Hello to all,

I have a zero lot line project, is there a a possibility to go for Option 1 (Roof and Non Roof measures) of Heat Island Reduction Credit?

I mean I have only a Roof Area, and I have not a Non Roof Area.

Thank you

FAQs about SSc5:

If the manufacturer cannot provide the SR or SRI values, can standard values be used based on the color of the material?

If the top floor of a parking garage includes parking spaces, is it considered a roof or non-roof surface?

In LEED v4, are there standard allowed SRI values for things like concrete, as in LEED 2009?

How should we account for off-site parking under this credit?

Can I exclude functional usable areas like recreation courts or rooftop patios?

What if I need to have a material tested?

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

Should we include motorcycle parking spaces in our total parking count for the Parking Under Cover option?

My project has a balcony that projects away from the building, and does not provide a roof to an enclosed space for the building. How should the balcony be treated for this credit?
