Inquiry

The parking for this project is a parking structure adjacent to the office building which is approximately equal in area to the "roof area" of the building. Is the upper deck of the parking structure to be a "roof" and therefore to be included in the total quantity of roof surface for this project? If so, is it necessary that an Energy Star high-reflectance and high emissivity coating be applied to the upper deck of the parking structure?
