2. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

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

   Consumers (i.e. building owners) may believe that the Energy Star label means their roof is energy-efficient; however, the testing is not as stringent as their appliance standard and does not include the additional components of a roof (i.e. roof structure, fire rated barriers, insulation, adhesives, fasteners, etc.). [59]

3. Federal roofing tax credit for energy efficiency - Wikipedia

   The wrong color on your home's exterior can cost you, so if it's time for a new coat of paint or a new roof, keep these tips in mind. A dark colored roof absorbs quite a bit of solar energy, and ...

5. Flat roof - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_roof

   Vinyl roofs provide an energy-efficient roofing option due to their inherently light coloring. While the surface of a black roof can experience a temperature increase of as much as 50 °C (90 °F) under the heat of the full sun, a white reflective roof typically increases only 5 to 14 °C (9 to 25 °F).

6. 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 ...
