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?

Unfortunately, the roof system you describe does not meet the Exemplary Performance requirements described in the LEED Reference Guide.The Reference Guide specifies a 100% green (vegetated) roof, not an SRI-compliant roof. You could submit a CIR to argue this point, but it doesn't seem likely to succeed.
