Inquiry

There is a stainless steel tube veil that covers the complete building. The tubes are placed with a 1 mm spacing between each other, and the material interior cannot be seen. Therefore, we would like to conduct a test to verify if the SRI of the tubes will comply with the LEED requirements (equal or greater than 78). Due to the originality of the exterior facade, we would like to know what type of test should be conducted: \n\n Option 1 - Test using a 4mx4m mock up of the roof assembly and test the reflectance per ASTM 1918, Option 2 - A flat sample test of all the materials installed on the roof Please advise if there are any other tests that would need to be conducted.
