FAQs about SSc7.2 :

We don't have enough SRI-compliant roofing to earn the credit, but we have a lot of relatively high-SRI roofing (SRI 70). Is there any way to earn the credit?

We don't know the SRI value of some roofing materials we are using. What should we do?

What do I do about roof area covered by solar panels, skylights, space for occupants, helipads, etc.?

Speaking of appurtenances, there is a rooftop pool. Should that be included? Do I need to figure out the SRI value of water?

Do balconies and terraces need to be counted towards the roof square footage?

How does one calculate the square footage of a pitched roof?

What type of ongoing maintenance of the roof is required?

Hi, my question concern wooden deck on the roof. Does it need any SRI value? In general wood does not emite any heat so what will be an advantage it I paint it white or not? Does white painted wood is enought for SRI value > 78? Thanks

Radoslaw, you would need to include the wood in the roof area. All materials that are warmer than absolute zero emit heat—wood is no different and needs to be included here. My guess is that painting it white will help, but you would need to use a wood product or a paint with a known SRI value to qualify the area for the credit.

Hi guys, Anyone knows any wood product with a known SRI? I've been searching for a long time, but I have failed to find anything related to Wood! Thanks..
