Our project's roof does not meet the credit requirements. The owner is willing to spec a compliant roofing system; however, the roof is in good conditions and still has 7 years left on its warranty. Is a commitment to purchase a compliant roofing system once the roof requires replacement a valid compliance path? I'm guessing based on Kim's experience above that this is not likely a possibility. It seems a bit 'counter-green' to replace a roofing system that is still in good working order.

A commitment to purchase a compliant roof system does not meet the credit requirements of SSc7.2. This is a great opportunity to integrate the roof replacement into the LEED EB Recertification plan/strategy. The replacement may impact energy efficiency (EAc1), in addition to SSc7.2.
