We are working on a Core & Shell major renovation which has an existing white roof. I've been having a hard time finding if we can just leave this roof and achieve this credit. Also, if we can achieve it do we need to count the materials for our total materials cost even though it's already in place?

Courtney, as with other existing materials on the project, you would not have to include the roof in your project cost. You could earn the credit by leaving the white roof in place, but you'll have to show that it has compliant SRI value. That will probably require finding specs from the manufacturer, or testing.
