FAQs about SSc7.2 :

We don't have enough SRI-compliant roofing to earn the credit, but we have a lot of relatively high-SRI roofing (SRI 70). Is there any way to earn the credit?

We don't know the SRI value of some roofing materials we are using. What should we do?

What do I do about roof area covered by solar panels, skylights, space for occupants, helipads, etc.?

Speaking of appurtenances, there is a rooftop pool. Should that be included? Do I need to figure out the SRI value of water?

Do balconies and terraces need to be counted towards the roof square footage?

How does one calculate the square footage of a pitched roof?

What type of ongoing maintenance of the roof is required?

NC-2009 SSc7.2:Heat Island Effect—Roof

Pergola covering the mechanical equipment

The mechanical equipment located on the roof of my project is covered by a metal pergola/blinds only for the esthetics. The pergola is permeable in more than 50% and it allows for penetration of wind, water and sunlight. Do we have to count it towards the roof area, or we can deduct it (in fact, that's the part of the roof covered by mechanical equipment)? Thanks in advance.

Alicja, this basically sounds to me like it should count as an appurtenance, as it's just a cover for the mechanical equipment.
