Hi everyone, would like to verify of the canopy area should be included on the calculation for SSc7.2?
Thank you in advance!

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?

I would assume you'd follow the same guideline as with balconies: "Yes, if they protrude from the building and serve as a roof surface for conditioned spaces below."

Thank you so much for your response. I would rather exclude it on my computation since these canopies are for drop off and holding area (outside the building) only and not conditioned spaces.
