Supportive of strategy goals.
 Use of pavers with higher Solar Reflectance Index values may help to reduce energy requirements for lighting in parking areas.  Glass block can support various strategies, including passive solar designs, to reduce energy consumption. And because this credit includes interior lighting energy demands, glass block can improve energy performance even more. |
