We don't know the SRI value of some roofing materials we are using. What should we do?
Do balconies and terraces need to be counted towards the roof square footage?
How does one calculate the square footage of a pitched roof?

Rosamaria, run the calculations and find out! There is a calculator in the Doc Toolkit above.

Thanks, Tristan. Yes, running the calcs and using the formula, it passes.
But the question was more if this formula applies to a project where all the roof areas will have the same material with an SRI of 70 (when it should be 78), or does it apply only to projects where they have SEVERAL roof materials and one or some of them DO have SRIs higher than 78, and others don't?
Thanks! :)

Yes, it applies.
