Event: Will a Cool Roof Pay Off for You?

Description

There is no universal definition of what a cool roof is – or isn't. Performance varies depending on the location. Some municipalities are setting standards for cool roofs; incentives or rebates for cool roofs are also available in some areas. Because all roofing types have various ways of increasing their solar reflectivity, how should you use cool as a factor in selecting a roofing system? This webinar will provide the tools to help you determine the best choice for a cool roof on your building.

Learning Objectives

Learn what a cool roof is (and isn't).
Recognize standards and funding options that apply to cool roofs.
Learn how to write specifications for a cool roof.
Learn models that will project the performance of a cool roof on your specific building.
