I have a roof of a building which has a light colored concrete surface and should in theory meet the requirements of the credit.

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?

We are designing a building with a "garden lounge" on the roof. The roof will have 3 large canopy trees that will shade a significant portion of the roof.
