What Are Cool Roofs?
Cool roofs are designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than traditional roofing materials. This is achieved through innovative materials and coatings that maximize solar reflectance and emissivity. By reducing roof surface temperatures, cool roofs significantly improve building efficiency and mitigate the urban heat island effect—a phenomenon where cities experience higher temperatures than surrounding areas due to dense infrastructure.
