NC-2009 SSc7.1:Heat Island Effect—Non-Roof

Underground parking roof?

For underground parking to qualify, can the roof just meet the CRI of at least 29 requirement without being either a green roof or covered by solar panels?

Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: You said 'underground' which implies to me that parking is either below a building or below a plaza or landscaped area which complies with the credit. If you meant parking deck, then the answer is still yes with a qualifier. The top level of the deck can be covered with an SRI compliant topping but only the spaces below that level qualify. It appears that the 'under desk' is a typo and should read 'under deck'.
