Confirm that roof properties (exterior color, radiant barrier, clay tile or concrete roofing, and sub-tile ventilation) which are entered into the software correspond with plans and/or field data collected by the Rater/RFI for the actual condition of the rated home.
- Verify that, in general, areas of pitched roofs are greater than the flat ceiling area and also that the attic assembly is handled properly in the software for sealed and unsealed attic conditions.
- Verify whether the radiant barrier material is in contact with another material other than roof trusses (e.g. foam insulation is sprayed to the inside of the radiant barrier material if on the underside of the roof sheathing). If so, then the radiant barrier material will most likely not operate as intended and the radiant barrier checkbox should not be selected in the rating software.
SCORING:
"Satisfactory" when correct and "Unsatisfactory" when incorrect.
GUIDANCE:
- Roof Type - Value in software corresponds with supporting docs or onsite verification
- Surface Color - Value in software corresponds with supporting docs or onsite verification
