Cool Residential and City Roofing Technology

Cool roofing is a sustainable and energy-efficient solution that has gained popularity in recent years. Cool roof products are designed to reflect sunlight and heat, reducing the amount of energy required to cool buildings. The Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) rates roof products based on their solar reflectance and thermal emittance, providing consumers with valuable information when choosing a reflective roof. This rating system is used by organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Title 24 in California to encourage the incorporation of cool roofs into building codes. In addition, certification programs like LEED recognize the benefits of cool roofs for environmental protection and energy savings. Research efforts by the CRRC over the past years have shown that cool roofs can reduce cooling costs by up to 20%.
