![Page 5: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Defining the Cool Roof
• Reflectivity– The ratio of the energy of a wave reflected
from a surface to the energy possessed by the wave striking the surface.
• Emissivity– The ratio of the radiation emitted by a
surface to the radiation emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature.
![Page 6: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Defining the Cool Roof
• Solar Reflectance Index (SRI)– A measure of the roof's ability to reject solar heat, as
shown by a small temperature rise.
– Standard black (reflectance 0.05, emittance 0.90) is 0 and a standard white (reflectance 0.80, emittance 0.90) is 100.
– By definition, particularly hot materials can even take slightly negative values, and particularly cool materials can even exceed 100.
![Page 7: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Setting and Reporting the Standards
• Cool Roof Ratings Council (CRRC)– The CRRC was created in
1998.
– Develop accurate and credible methods for evaluating and labeling the solar reflectance and thermal emittance of roofing products.
– Disseminate the information to all interested parties.
![Page 8: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Setting and Reporting the Standards
• EPA Energy Star– ENERGY STAR qualified
roof products (0.65 reflectivity) reflect more of the sun's rays.
– ENERGY STAR qualified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings.
– ENERGY STAR qualified roof products can reduce peak cooling demand by 10–15 percent .
![Page 9: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Setting and Reporting the Standards
• Title 24– Cool roofs are highly reflective
(0.70), highly emissive (0.65) roofing materials that stay 50 to 60 degrees F cooler.
– For building owners they can cut maintenance costs and increase the life expectancy of the roof.
– A calculator is now available to quickly determine the energy-equivalent R-value of insulation needed to meet Title 24 requirements.
![Page 10: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Setting and Reporting the Standards
• Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED)– The LEED Green Building
Rating System is a voluntary standard.
– LEED NC requires 75% of the roof to be a cool roof.
– The SRI value (minimum 78) is calculated according to ASTM E 1980,
![Page 11: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Setting and Reporting the Standards
• American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASRAE)
– ASHRAE 90.1 defines a cool roof as having a minimum solar reflectance of 0.70 and minimum thermal emittance of 0.75.
– Allows reduced roof insulation (U-factor) if a cool roof is used.
– These documents are not mandatory or enforceable until a jurisdiction adopts the documents as part of regulation or law.
• Proposed standard 189.1– To be SRI 78 (low-slope)or cool roof.
– A “cool roof” is just one of the potential strategies for reducing heat gain to a building structure.
– Modeled after LEED NC v. 2.2.
![Page 12: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Setting and Reporting the Standards
• State, County & City Regulations– Some “Talk the Talk”
• Atlanta & Houston Studies
– Others “Walk the Walk”• California & Chicago
• Utility Companies– Incentives or Rebates.
– Improvement over existing reflectivity or SRI.
– Some require minimum insulation in coordination with cool roof.
![Page 13: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Setting and Reporting the Standards
• Laboratory Studies– Oak Ridge National Laboratory
• Reflectivity research, begun in the summer of 1997
• Typical results are that reflectance is reduced by about 0.1 to 0.3.
• Most recent studies explored effects of R-Value to offset energy in Northern climates.
– Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
• The Heat Island Group.
• Buildings used up to 40% less energy for cooling than buildings with darker roofs.
![Page 14: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why Cool Roofing
• Heat Island Effect– A "dome" of elevated
temperatures over an urban area.
– Caused by structural and pavement heat fluxes, and pollutant emissions.
– The annual mean air temperature of a city with 1 million people or more can be 1.8–5.4°F (1–3°C) warmer than its surroundings.
![Page 15: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why Cool Roofing
• Heat Island Effect– In the evening, the
difference can be as high as 22°F (12°C).
– Heat islands can affect communities by increasing:
• Summertime peak energy demand;
• Air conditioning costs;• Air pollution;• Greenhouse gas
emissions;• Heat-related illness and
mortality;• Water quality.
![Page 16: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why Cool Roofing
• Heat Island Effect– Original Atlanta Study
focus:• The development of the
urban heat island phenomenon.
• Change on air quality.
• Surface energy budget characteristics across the Atlanta urban landscape.
![Page 17: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why Cool Roofing
• Heat Island Effect– New Atlanta Study
• The study indicates a connection between the intensity of the 2008 urban Atlanta tornado and the heat island effect.
• Hot, dry urban conditions may have led to a larger discrepancy with the surrounding atmospheric conditions, enhancing stability and thus intensifying the storm as it approached the city.
![Page 18: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why Cool Roofing
• Heat Island Effect– Ambient Temperature at
Night• Normal forests and fields
in Georgia during the day would be a mustard green, not the hot red that is seen in the upper photo.
• At night it would be a cool green, not the mustard green/orange seen in the bottom photo.
• This has nothing to do with global warming and everything to do with land use changes
![Page 19: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why Cool Roofing
• Heat Island Effect– Urban Heat Related Deaths
• Compared to rural areas, cities experience higher rates of heat-related illness and death.
• Heat islands can amplify extreme hot weather events, which can cause heat stroke and lead to physiological disruption, organ damage, and even death.
• Especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly.
![Page 20: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why Cool Roofing
• Energy Savings– Quantify Savings Potential
• A lower temperature means the roof conducts less heat into the building, which translates into a smaller cooling load.
• A reasonable average savings expectation for a typical application of cool roofing is in the range of 10 percent to 30 percent of the cooling energy required.
• This range might equate to a total building electric bill reduction of 3 percent to 10 percent.
![Page 21: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why Cool Roofing
• Energy Savings– Peak Energy Production Savings
• Because cool roofs reduce air-conditioning use during the day’s hottest periods, the associated energy savings occur when the demand for electricity is at its peak.
• Use of cool roofs reduces the stress on the energy grid during hot summer months and helps avoid shortages that can cause blackouts or brownouts.
• For building owners that pay for their energy based on the time of use, they save energy when it is at its most expensive.

Design Consideration
• Staged Installation– Make the building weathertight.– Stage to optimize “bright white” for aesthetics and
performance.
![Page 34: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Design Consideration
• Positive Slope– Avoid ponding water for premature failure.
![Page 35: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Design Consideration
• Location and Orientation of Building– Bright White roofing
system can cause glare on neighbors.
– Building layout can optimize energy efficiency on new construction.
![Page 36: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Alternative Cool Options• Insulation Offset
– Studies• PIMA• Oak Ridge National Laboratory
– Pros• in addition to reflectivity, roof
insulation (measured by the R-value) plays an important role in building energy consumption for heating and cooling.
• The colder the climate, the greater the need for a higher R-value to ensure that less heat is lost from the building envelope.
• increasing the thickness of polyiso insulation on a roof deck significantly reduces energy costs while providing a positive rate of return on the cost of installation.
![Page 41: Balancing Modified Bitumen with High SRI Ratings](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56814ed6550346895dbc6fd7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Alternative Cool Options• Insulation Offset
– Cons• Implementation could take 3 – 5
years.
• Rated R value often not accomplished in real life application.
• Over insulating equals no extra benefit and could cause opposite effect on efficiency.
– Acceptance• No uniform acceptance to date.
• Various utility companies combine with reflective roofing rebates.
• ASHRAE 90.1: 2007 first increase since 1998.
