Can an underground building, with an insulated roof and 24inches of fill and turf on top, qualify for a vegetated roof in NC-v4, SSc5?

Does gravel count in "Total Paving Area"

Hi, 

I have seen a couple posts about how to count gravel in a nonroof measure. However, I am wondering if gravel counts in the "Total site paving area" of the calculation.

Has anyone ever gotten or heard about a plug load exemption for projects that demonstrate energy savings but due to extreme plug loads (over 60%) cannot meet the prerequisite 10%?
