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?

Hi Tanja,
Terraces should be included in the calculations if they protrude from the building and serve as a roof surface for conditioned spaces below.
