CS-2009 SSc7.2: Heat Island Effect—Roof
Are awnings part of roofs? My project has a large roof and then some metal awnings over entrances, do the tops of the awnings also need to comply with/be counted in the roof credit documentation?

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?

You don't have to include the awnings since there don't cover an enclosed space see also this comment with the definition of a roof. http://www.leeduser.com/credit/NC-2009/SSc7.2#comment-16498
