How does it work?How does it work?

The idea is simple: White roofs reflect The idea is simple: White roofs reflect sunlight and emit heat better than darker onessunlight and emit heat better than darker ones

On a hot, sunny, summer On a hot, sunny, summer day, traditional roofing day, traditional roofing materials may reach 190° Fmaterials may reach 190° F

Cool Roofs only reach Cool Roofs only reach peak temperatures of peak temperatures of 120° F120° F

““Where Cool Roofs have been installed, the Where Cool Roofs have been installed, the outside temperature in the immediate area is outside temperature in the immediate area is cooler than in areas a block away without the cooler than in areas a block away without the roofs.”roofs.” -Audrey Chang, Cool Roof Rating Council-Audrey Chang, Cool Roof Rating Council

““Air conditioners use up to 1/6th of the Air conditioners use up to 1/6th of the electricity in the U.S. and on hot summer electricity in the U.S. and on hot summer days consume 43% of the U.S. peak power days consume 43% of the U.S. peak power load.” load.” -Union of Concerned Scientists-Union of Concerned Scientists

Cool roofs exhibit two other Cool roofs exhibit two other advantages over darker roofs:advantages over darker roofs:

Cool roofs last Cool roofs last longerlonger

Changing Changing temperatures cause temperatures cause a dark roof to expand a dark roof to expand and contract and contract

Since white roofs Since white roofs expand less in expand less in summer time, the summer time, the roofing material is roofing material is worn lessworn less

How much does it cost?How much does it cost? Just like almost all energy-efficiency Just like almost all energy-efficiency

upgrades, the up-front cost of a Cool Roof upgrades, the up-front cost of a Cool Roof is slightly higher than a traditional roofis slightly higher than a traditional roof

▪ But once you factor in maintenance costs over the life of each roof and energy cost-savings provided by a Cool Roof, it is clearly an economically wise investment
