   A vented copper roof assembly at Oak Ridge National Laboratories (U.S.) substantially reduced heat gain versus stone-coated steel shingle (SR246E90) or asphalt shingle (SR093E89), resulting in lower energy costs. [90] Types of copper roofs include: [91] Standing seam roofing is composed of preformed or field-formed pans. The pans run parallel ...

6. Chimney - Wikipedia

Although the H cap has a distinct advantage over most other downdraft caps, it fell out of favor because of its bulky design.

7. Radiant barrier - Wikipedia

   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 ...
