Roof Heat Island Effect Points

Does the reflective roofing to reduce the heat island effect qualify with a single family home (3 stories including basement)? I found something that said only 4+ stories multifamily homes. I can't seem to find it under Leed for Homes, only under the LEED New Construction.

Yes you can use it in leed for homes. You will need this checklist for leed for homes certification. http://www.usgbc.org/ShowFile.aspx?DocumentID=3658 scroll down to sustainable sites section 3 on the second tab and you will see what you must do for the local heat island effect.
