NC-2009 SSc7.2: Heat Island Effect—Roof
We have a project in Virginia and we are looking for a lab that can provide the required SRI testing for an existing roof membrane. We plan to send a piece of the membrane to the lab but we are having difficulty locating a lab. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Per a prior string and posted link by Mara Baum, we were able to obtain a response with another link for a list of recommneded testing labs: http://coolroofs.org/product-rating/product-testing.
Thank you,

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?

I had looked into a posted link by Mara Baum from a prior string (http://eetd.lbl.gov) and per my contacting them I was directed to another link on their website (http://coolroofs.org/product-rating/product-testing) which lists recommended test labs. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of experience pursuing testing for this credit so I will let you know how it turns out.
Thank you,

Hi Patrick, thanks for posting - I've never had to do this but am curious to hear how it goes.
