What Is A Cool Roof?
- A roof that reflects the sun’s heat and releases absorbed heat back into the atmosphere
- The roof surface temperature is usually only slightly higher than the air temperature
Benefits of Cool Roofs Include:
- Increased occupant comfort, especially during hot summer months
- Reduced HVAC system use, resulting in energy savings
- Reduction in Heat Island Effect and smog
- Compliance with code and green building programs
- Peak energy savings and electrical grid stability
