Reference: Sustainable Sites Credit, Heat Island Effect-Nonroof, Calculations, Option 1

Each surface can be counted only once for the credit regardless of how many green building strategies are in use. In this case, 25,000 sq. ft. was replaced with pervious pavement. The same 25,000 sq. ft. was covered with an SRI of 29 or more, and the same 25,000 sq. ft. was shaded. The 25,000 sq. ft. gets counted once.
