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 with a terrace that is about 50% of the building roof. The terrace is partly covered with green roof and the rest is covered by wood since this spaces will be used as lounge or some other event like a party, exhibition and so on. Following the LEED Interpretation #10235 made on 10/01/2012, can we exempt from SSc7.2 the wood covered area as usable space, I think yes . Is it True?

Fabio, yes, I would exclude it from the calculations because it is usable.
