FAQs about SSc7.2 :

We’re working on an international project and having a hard time finding a coating with a published value for Solar Reflectance Index. If the coating is white, can we assume that it qualifies?

Are solar panels always excluded from the roof area for the purposes of the credit calculations?

Why does the form calculate my high-albedo roof area, as a value greater than 100% of total roof area?

If our existing roof meets the requirements can we achieve the credit, or does there have to be a change/upgrade from the existing to comply?

As long as you can document that the existing roof complies, you do not need to change it.
