A cool roof is specifically designed to reflect a greater amount of sunlight compared to a traditional roof, resulting in the absorption of less solar energy. This has a similar cooling effect on the building, akin to how wearing light-colored clothing helps keep you cool on a sunny day. Traditional roofs can heat up to temperatures exceeding 150°F on a sunny summer afternoon. In contrast, under the same conditions, a reflective roof could remain more than 50°F (28 °C) cooler. This not only conserves energy and reduces costs in air-conditioned buildings but also enhances comfort and safety in non-air-conditioned structures by minimizing the transfer of heat from the roof to the occupied space. Most cool roofs exhibit high "thermal emittance," meaning they effectively release heat through the emission of "thermal infrared" radiation.
When contemplating the installation of a cool roof, it's essential to assess whether the potential energy savings and other advantages justify any associated cost premium. The amount of energy you stand to save is contingent on various factors, including your home's climate, surroundings, the level of insulation in the roof assembly, the roof type, and the efficiency of your heating and cooling system.
For those constructing a new home, the decision on the roof type, including whether it should be a cool roof, can be made during the planning phase. On the other hand, if you intend to convert an existing roof into a cool roof, you have three primary options:
2. Install a cool roofing product before your existing roof reaches the end of its service life, though this may be seen as wasteful.
3. Apply a cool roof coating to the existing roof, provided the roof type is suitable for coating.
