  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).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarking

    The shingles or slates are nailed directly to the sarking boards without timber battens, providing a strong, wind-resistant roof. An additional layer within a roof that insulates or reflects heat, such as a layer of felt, reflective foil, or polystyrene.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_roof_construction

    Some roofing materials help reduce air conditioning costs in hot climates by being designed to reflect light. Asphalt shingles is the most used roofing material in North America, making up as much as 75% of all steep slope roofs. This type of material is also gaining popularity in Europe due to lower installation costs.

    Roofing material is the outermost layer on the roof of a building, sometimes self-supporting, but generally supported by an underlying structure. A building's roofing material provides shelter from the natural elements. The outer layer of a roof shows great variation dependent upon availability of material, and the nature of the supporting ...

  7. Metal roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_roof

    Metal roofs emissivity is better at reflecting solar radiation at 10%–75% depending on the color choice, compared to asphalt roofs that reflect 5%–25% depending on their color. Over the lifetime of the metal roof they keep 95% of the reflective capacity compared to other roof types that lose 20%–40% of their reflective capacity.
