Case Study # 2

Project Profile: Mercedes-Benz Superdom e

Locat ion: New Orleans, Louisiana

Project Challenge :

Maintain the appearance and perform ance of the largest dome st ructure in

the world, set in the heart of hot and hum id New Orleans. The Superdom e

needed a roof coat ing that would resist the buildup of dir t and biological

growth, keeping the city’s “crown jewel” br ight white and ensure solar

reflect ivit y to lower cooling dem ands and em issions.

GAF Solut ion:

United Coat ings™ Kymax™ Coat ing (White) outperformed eight different test

patch coat ings.

How GAF products cont r ibute to

the following LEED® v4 Credits:

Case Study # 3

Project Profile: Histor ical Beach House Parking Lot - Annenberg Com m unity Beach Club

Locat ion: Santa Monica, CA

Project Challenge :

Reduce the Heat I sland Effect of the exist ing dark, non- reflect ive asphalt parking

surface.

GAF Solut ion:

The project applied GAF’s St reetBond® SB150 SR Pavement Coat ing that contains a SR

(solar reflect ive) Colorant that keeps asphalt cool, which in turn keeps outdoor am bient

temperatures lower. This reduct ion then cont r ibutes to lowering cooling dem ands and

costs of the building while also reducing CO2 em issions and pollut ion.

LEED® v4 : Roofing- related Provisions by NRCA

The Nat ional Roofing Contractors Associat ion (NRCA) has published a 130-page guide t it led LEED® v4:

Roofing-Related Provisions writ ten to assist roofing cont ractors who want to understand roofing-specific

issues related to USGBC’s LEED® v4 Green Building Rat ing System .

The NRCA guide takes a deep-dive into each roofing- related LEED® credit with relevance specific to roofing

cont ractors. But don’t be scared off by the size of the guide because it is writ ten for both a com prehensive

understanding of green building and LEED® , yet st ructured for skipping direct ly to the succinct pract ical

advice that roofing cont ractors are in search of for a prospect ive LEED® project .

Roofing cont ractors will appreciate having this interpretat ion of green building and the LEED® process as it

is uniquely tailored to their specific roles and responsibilit ies in a clear, chronological form at . I t covers the

LEED® v4 rat ing system s in both the Building Design and Const ruct ion (BD+ C) , and Building Operat ions

and Maintenance (O+ M) fam ilies.

For roofing cont ractors who have part icipated in earlier versions of LEED® , NRCA includes an analysis of

what roofing- related provisions have changed in LEED® v4, saving reader ’s t im e. There have been a few

updates to LEED® v4 since the guide was published in 2014, so be sure to check all Addenda for any

changes to specific LEED® credits at ht tp: / / www.usgbc.org.

Glossary of Term s1

Appurtenance

Any built - in, nonst ructural port ion of a roof system , such as skylights, vent ilators, m echanical equipm ent ,

part it ions, and solar energy panels.

Building Exterior

A st ructure’s pr im ary and secondary weatherproofing system , including waterproofing m em branes and air-

and water- resistant barr ier m aterials, and all building elem ents outside that system .

Building I nter ior

Everything inside a st ructure’s weatherproofing m em brane.

Em issivity

The rat io of the radiat ion em it ted by a surface to the radiat ion em it ted by a black body at the same

tem perature.

ENERGYSTAR Rat ing

The rat ing a building earns using the ENERGYSTAR® Port folio Manager to com pare building energy

perform ance to sim ilar buildings in sim ilar clim ates. A score of 50 represents average building perform ance.

Environm ental Product Declarat ion

A statem ent that the item m eets the environm ental requirements of I SO 14021–1999, I SO 14025–2006

and EN 15804, or I SO 21930–2007.

Extensive Vegetat ive Roof

A roof that is covered with plants and typically not designed for general access. Usually an extensive

system is a rugged green roof that requires lit t le maintenance once established. The plant ing m edium in

extensive vegetated roofs ranges from 1 to 6 inches in depth. (Adapted from U.S. EPA) exter ior vegetated

surface area the total area of vegetat ion on the project site, including vegetated roofs and turf grass.

Hardscape

The inanim ate elements of the building landscaping. I t includes pavem ent , roadways, stonewalls, wood and

synthet ic decking, concrete paths and sidewalks, and concrete, br ick, and t ile pat ios.

Heat I sland Effect

The therm al absorpt ion by hardscape, such as dark, non- reflect ive pavem ent and buildings, and its

subsequent radiat ion to surrounding areas. Other cont r ibut ing factors m ay include vehicle exhaust , air-

condit ioners, and st reet equipm ent . Tall buildings and narrow st reets reduce air flow and exacerbate the

effect .

I nfrared ( Therm al) Em it tance

A value between 0 and 1 (or 0% and 100% ) that indicates the abilit y of a m aterial to shed infrared

radiat ion (heat ) . A cool roof should have a high therm al em it tance. The wavelength range for radiant

energy is roughly 5 to 40 m icrom eters. Most building m aterials ( including glass) are opaque in this part of

the spect rum and have an em it tance of roughly 0.9, or 90% . Clean, bare m etals, such as untarnished

galvanized steel, have a low em it tance and are the m ost im portant except ions to the 0.9 rule. I n cont rast ,

alum inum roof coat ings have interm ediate em it tance levels. (Adapted from Lawrence Berkeley Nat ional

Laboratory) .

I ntensive Vegetated Roof

A roof that , com pared with an extensive vegetated roof, has greater soil volum e, supports a wider variety

of plants ( including shrubs and t rees) , and allows a wider variety of uses ( including hum an access) . The

depth of the growing m edium is an im portant factor in determ ining habitat value. The nat ive or adapted

plants selected for the roof should support the site’s endem ic wildlife populat ions. (Adapted from Green

Roofs for Healthy Cit ies) .

products that are sourced (ext racted, m anufactured, and purchased) within a 100 m iles of the project site

are valued at 200% of their base cont r ibut ing cost . What was form erly a LEED credit and point in v2009 is

instead a m ult iplier for the LEED v4 m aterial credits.

Low - Sloped Roof

< 2: 12 pitch

Post - consum er Recycled Content

Defined as waste m aterial generated by household or by com m ercial, indust r ial and inst itut ional facilit ies in

their role as end-users of the product , which can no longer be used for its intended purpose.

Pre- consum er Recycled Content ( Post - I ndustr ia l)

Defined as material diverted from the waste st ream during the m anufactur ing process, determ ined as the

percentage of material, by weight . Examples include planer shavings, sawdust , bagasse, walnut shells,

culls, t r im m ed m aterials, over issue publicat ions, and obsolete inventories. The designat ion excludes

rework, regrind, or scrap materials capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated

them ( I SO 14021) . Form erly known as post - indust r ial content .

Prim er

A material applied to a subst rate to im prove adhesion of subsequent ly applied coat ings.

Product ( perm anent ly installed building product )

An item that arr ives on the project site either as a finished elem ent ready for installat ion or as a

com ponent to another item assem bled on-site. The product unit is defined by the funct ional requirem ent

for use in the project ; this includes the physical components and services needed to serve the intended

funct ion of the permanent ly installed building product . I n addit ion, sim ilar products within a specificat ion

can each cont r ibute as separate products.

Rainw ater Managem ent On Site ( form erly Storm W ater Control in LEED® v2 0 0 9 )

joints between two surfaces. Sealants include sealant pr im ers and caulks.

Solar Reflectance ( SR)

The fract ion of solar energy that is reflected by a surface on a scale of 0 to 1. Black paint has a solar

reflectance of 0; white paint ( t itanium dioxide) has a solar reflectance of 1. The standard technique for its

determ inat ion uses spect rophotom etr ic m easurem ents, with an integrat ing sphere to determ ine the

reflectance at each wavelength. The average reflectance is then determ ined by an averaging process, using

a standard solar spect rum , as docum ented by ASTM Standards E903 and E892.

Solar Reflectance I ndex ( SRI )

A m easure of the const ructed surface’s abilit y to stay cool in the sun by reflect ing solar radiat ion and

em it t ing therm al radiat ion. I t is defined such that a standard black surface ( init ial solar reflectance 0.05,

init ial therm al em it tance 0.90) has an init ial SRI of 0, and a standard white surface ( init ial solar reflectance

0.80, init ial thermal em it tance 0.90) has an init ial SRI of 100. To calculate the SRI for a given material,

obtain its solar reflectance and therm al em it tance via the Cool Roof Rat ing Council Standard (CRRC-1) . SRI

is calculated according to ASTM E1980. Calculat ion of the aged SRI is based on the aged tested values of

solar reflectance and thermal em it tance.
