NC-2009 SSc7.2: Heat Island Effect—Roof
The grade at our project drops considerably, allowing for conditioned space below a green roof and paved areas. Would it be considered double dipping if these areas are part of both the filings for SSc7.1 and SSc7.2?

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?

Brooks, it would be double-dipping. Since the surface you describe covers a conditioned space, I think you should consider it a roof.
