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?

We have a project where caopies at an intermodal station are considered a roof system by code yet are not attached to the facility and do not fall under the LEED definition of a roof. Moving forward, we will be using the canopies as non-roof architectural structures in our calculations. Will this discrepancy be an issue during review?

Aliesa, I think this approach is consistent with LEED, and there should not be an issue with any discrepancy from code definitions.
