I wonder that white-colored painting on the roof is enough to get the point. Our LEED consultant reported like this so they classified this item as easy & cheap one.
I searched some local painting/coating products but SRI information was not presented on the product specification. That's why I concern USGBC does not accept it due to lack of product information though it is white-colored coating.
Please give me some advice on this.

Seung,
that might not be correct, by saying "white colored paint" can contribute meet the credit requirement.
Any white colored paint can only contribute point if the white paint has a tested SRI value as based on ASTM E1980-01.
hope this help

Thanks, Jason!
One more quick question. Does the LEED require any designated labs for this test? Or just follow the ASTM by the licensed labs?

Hi Seung,
Painting roof covering white is really interesting issue which might decrease costs for materials to achieve SSc7.2. Even if I have found a web site http://www.concretethinker.com/solutions/Heat-Island-Reduction.aspx showing values for acrylic paint I have many doubts about it. Please let us know if you will get any answer.
