D: Use paving materials with an SRI of 29 on 100% of the walkways

参考答案: C

本题解释:
See SS Credit 1 Option 2, Path 4, Requirements

The project area is 4 acres, so you can choose to:
Shade the hardscape or use high albedo materials with a SRI of at least 29 or has open grid paving for 30% of the sites nonroof impervious surfaces
OR
Place 50% of parking underground
OR
Use open-grid paving for 50% of the parking lot area

You can also use any combination of these three to achieve the 30% coverage.

Only using the 2 acres of open grid pavement meets one of these requirements.
