A project team has decided to revise its design to earn exemplary performance for
Sustainable Sites Credit, Heat Island Effect-NonRoof. The current design calls for 500
parking spaces with 250 of those spaces being undercover. What can the project team
change to earn an ID point?
A: Use open grid paving for 50% of all hardscapes
B: Plant trees that will provide shade for all hardscapes within 5 years
C: Cover 100% of the roof for the underground parking with high-albedo materials
D: Put an additional 125 parking spaces under cover

参考答案: B

本题解释:
Notes:
Covering 100% of all hardscapes with trees that will provide shade within 5 years qualifies
for an ID point.
The current plan has 50% of the parking underground. 100% of the parking must be
underground to qualify for an ID point, and 100% must be covered with a material that is
high albedo (an SRI of 29 or higher).
Covering 100% of the underground parking roof with a high-albedo material is not correct
because only 50% of the existing project design parking is underground.
Open grid paving will help but will not be enough for an ID point - that would require 100%
non roof impervious surfaces to be open grid paving.
