2. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).

   On top of the roof, a passive solar hot water system provides nearly all of the house’s hot water, and light-colored shingles reflect heat and save energy. Tim Chapman.

4. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier

   This is different from the "cool roof" strategy which reflects solar energy before it heats the roof, but both are a means of reducing radiant heat. According to a study by the Florida Solar Energy Center, [ 8 ] a white tile or white metal cool roof can outperform a traditional black shingle roof with a radiant barrier in the attic, but the ...

6. Sarking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarking

   Sarking is an English word with multiple meanings in roof construction: The use of wood panels, or "sarking boards", called sheathing, sheeting or decking in American English, under the roof-covering materials such as the shingles of a roof to provide support. It is a common term in Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand.

7. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Light-colored roof shingles and reflective paint. Often called cool roofs, these help to keep attics cooler in the summer and in hot climates. To maximize radiative cooling at night, they are often chosen to have high thermal emissivity, whereas their low emissivity for the solar spectrum reflects heat during the day.
