Cool Roof Solutions  (CRRC) is a non-profit organization that fairly evaluates solar-reflective roofing materials and provides technical resources for builders and contractors. Their website contains information about financial incentives and codes that support the installation of cool roofs, as well as a database of products and their radiative performance ratings.

Light-colored shingles, tiles and metal reflect sunlight rather than absorbing it, keeping the roof surface cooler and reducing internal building temperatures, thus lowering energy use. These roofing systems also require less maintenance and last longer than dark-colored roofs, which often need frequent re-tiling.

The Benefits of Choosing Cool Roof Solutions for Your New Roof

Cool roofs are not just for hot areas, but are beneficial in urban areas where the buildup of heat-retaining materials and human waste cause buildings to rise in temperature, contributing to smog formation, increased air conditioning demand, and energy consumption that adds to carbon emissions. Cool roofs are a tool to mitigate this phenomenon called the “urban heat island effect.”

When planning your roof installation, take steps to protect surrounding landscaping and your vehicle from potential damage. Be sure to move your car to a garage or driveway, cover lawn furniture and vehicles with tarps, and position garbage cans where they won’t be blocked by construction equipment and supplies.
