In a C&S LEED building, can we use coating over an existing gravel and if so whether the credit requirements will be fulfilled

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?

Probably not. Ballast will cast shadows which will lower your SRI. If you want to do this, you'll need to have this solution lab tested.
