I have a project covered entirely by a green roof. The energy modeler has asked me to see if anyone has any input on the typical SRI value of the plants on a green roof. Again, this is for energy modeling and not for filing for this credit. (To meet SSc7.2, we will file under Option 2/Exemplary Performance.) Thanks for your help.

Brooks, I have never heard a single, reliable value for this. So much variation possible based on the specifics of the roof—the plants, the time of year, how much of the area has vegetation vs. where ground is visible.Have you learned anything since you posted this question?
