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?

CS-2009 SSc7.2:Heat Island Effect—Roof

Temporary roof over seating on terrace

Hi, We have a building with 80% of the terrace area is used as some seating place and also some sheet roof is planning to provide on that area. Do we need to consider this area as exposed roof area? Can we show compliance by providing SRI Coating on top the roof? Also do we need to consider this area as a separate floor? Someone please help

It sounds to me like you are describing an outdoor seating area that is partially covered? If so, the roof/canopy material covering an outdoor seating area that is not included in the project gross square footage would be considered an "architectural structure" and would be subject to the SRI requirements for SSc7.1, Heat Island Effect Non-Roof. I am not sure what you mean by a need to consider this area as a separate floor - please elaborate.

The seating area is on the terrace of the building.This sheeted roof covers the RCC roof of the building. So can we comply for this credit?

The sheeted roof material square footage should be included in Heat Island Effect Non-Roof as it is covering area not included in project gross square footage.
