FAQs about SSc5 :

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?

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

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

What if I need to have a material tested?

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

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?

Lighting Zones for BUG Method of compliance

Our project has two buildings on a corporate campus. We plan to use the “BUG” method to show compliance with this credit. We’re in a mixed-use development that could fall into Lighting Zone 2 or 3, so how do we determine which Lighting Zone we’re in? Does the project team determine the appropriate Lighting Zone? It could make a difference in the fixtures we choose, so we want to make sure we’re right.

Sorry, I posted in the wrong credit and can't edit my question!
