NC-2009 SSc7.2: Heat Island Effect—Roof
Dear All,
I received an email from LEEDUser called "LEED Updates: New Interpretations & Addenda"
One interesting point was the following:
"USGBC introduces multiple new options for non-U.S. projects that have had limited access to heat-island compliant products for SSc7.1 and SSc7.2."
The link doesn't direct to the proper page. Anyone has further guidance on what can be done?
Thanks!

We don't know the SRI value of some roofing materials we are using. What should we do?
Do balconies and terraces need to be counted towards the roof square footage?
How does one calculate the square footage of a pitched roof?

Omar, the article that I sent out in the email is here. That contains a link with the detailed USGBC guidance.

Thanks Tristan.
I don't really understand what's "new" here - couldn't we previously use the SRIs of a material listed in the the Cool Roof Council website? The SRI is a property and if it is available on this website this means that the product manufacturer knows the SRI.
The issue with international projects is that many suppliers have not even heard of the SRI term.
Have I misunderstood something?
