NC-2009 SSc7.2: Heat Island Effect—Roof
Are we supposed to include parking roofs on SSc7.2 heat island - roof's calculations? I assume that all roofs should be included. But parking roofs are part of SSc7.1, heat island - non roof's calculations.
Any ideas?

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?

Noriko,
Per LEED Interpretation #2293 and a CIR Ruling dated 9/24/2001 the top deck of an above-grade parking structure is to be considered non-roof impervious area. If the podium deck covered conditioned space, then the deck could be considered as a roof (for portions not being used for parking).
