Meet 2008 california title 24 part 6 requirements which call for a cool roof or.
Pinnacle roof meet energy star requirements.
Initial minimum solar reflectance of 0 25 and 3 year aged minimum solar reflectance of 0 15.
The energy star energy efficiency criteria do not include a specification for roof insulation.
For energy star compliance the roof coverings must be naturally aged for three years then the reflectivity and emissivity are measured.
Energy star certified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10 15 percent.
The hotter the roof the more energy it takes to cool the building beneath it.
Maintenance of solar reflectance the test surface of each sample shall not be washed cleaned or wiped in any fashion prior to testing aged solar reflectance.
The provisions of title 24 allow for simulated aging called rapid ratings.
For steep slope applications greater than 2 12 pitch.
Energy star initial requirements.
Reflectivity requirements differ for low slope and steep slope roofs.
So in 1999 the u s.
