If the top floor of a parking garage includes parking spaces, is it considered a roof or non-roof surface?

If the top level of your parking structure has parking spaces, it is considered a nonroof surface, and needs to be included in the calculations for Option 1 under “Area of nonroof measures.” If your project is pursuing Option 2, any roof used to shade or cover parking must meet the criteria listed in the credit requirements.
