A nonprofit that maintains a rating program for the solar reflectance and thermal emittance of roofing products.
The Cool Roof Rating Council, known as CRRC, describes itself as a nonprofit that maintains a rating system for the radiative properties of roofing products, such as how much sunlight they reflect and how well they release heat. Its website includes a product directory and educational material about cool roofs. Owners in Nashville who care about summer heat and energy use can read about how roof surfaces are measured.
We are an independent company and are not part of CRRC. Reflective roofing can matter more on low-slope commercial roofs than on steep homes, and results depend on insulation, ventilation and the building. We explain how reflective membranes, coatings and light-colored metal compare with darker materials, and we are glad to talk through options during a Free Estimate. The official site explains the rating program in detail.
