Discovering COOL Shingles

Meeting California Code Requirements

There are two ways asphalt shingles can meet cool roof code requirements in California

Exceed a minimum solar reflectance.

This is ability of the shingle to reflect the sun’s energy from its surface back into the atmosphere. Solar reflectance is represented as a number like “0.25”.

Exceed a minimum solar reflectance index (SRI).

This is a mathematical calculation based on the shingle’s aged solar reflectance and thermal emittance. It measures how hot the shingle surface is likely to become when exposed to solar radiation. Shingles with a higher SRI rating are cooler in the sunshine. SRI is represented as a number like “16”.

Why Stay COOL?

Compliant with California’s Title 24, Part 6 Cool Roof Requirements
Potentially save home energy consumption and CO2 emission

COOL Roofs can contribute to lower home energy costs by keeping your roof cooler throughout the year. Combined with the fact that sunlight is directly reflected back at the sun, COOL Roofs can positively impact the environment with lower CO2 emissions.
Longer lasting roofs

Extend the life of the roof – thanks to solar-reflecting granules that reduce shingle temperature and subsequently, slow asphalt aging.
Wide arrange of colors

Save energy and look great at the same time. The COOL Roof Collection has a variety of deep colors that are unexpected of solar reflective shingles which tend to be lighter-in-color.
