Phoenix Arizona Cool Roof Council PresentationICF_HCD
The Arizona Cool Roof Council (ACRC) is a non-profit organization that promotes cool roofing materials to reduce energy consumption. A cool roof reflects and emits the sun's heat rather than transferring it to the building below. This is measured by solar reflectance and thermal emittance, with higher values indicating a "cooler" roof. Common cool roof materials include single ply, polyurethane foam, and coatings that can achieve a Solar Reflective Index of over 100. Benefits of cool roofs include reduced energy costs, increased comfort, and lower environmental impacts.
This document describes Astec, a water-based acrylic elastomeric ceramic coating that can be applied to various substrates. It has been used on over 28 million square meters of surfaces for more than 20 years to provide insulation, protect against corrosion, and stop leaks. The coating reduces surface temperatures and energy consumption, and can extend the lifespan of structures at a lower cost than conventional re-roofing. It has benefits for roofing, walls, tanks, vehicles, and other industrial and military applications.
Cool roofs can save homeowners between 7-15% on cooling costs through high-tech coatings and treatments that increase a roof's solar reflectance and thermal emittance. There are now a variety of cool roof products available beyond just white roofs, including specially coated asphalt shingles and tiles, that offer energy savings while providing traditional color options. The combination of high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, as measured by the Solar Reflectance Index, determines a roof's overall "coolness".

This document proposes modifying California's Title 24 building energy efficiency standards to include cool roofs as a prescriptive requirement for nonresidential buildings with low-sloped roofs. Cool roofs have high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, which helps reduce cooling energy usage and peak electricity demand. The proposal recommends establishing minimum solar reflectance requirements for roofs in each climate zone based on life cycle cost analysis showing savings. It outlines changes to the prescriptive, performance, and overall envelope compliance options to incorporate these requirements. Cool roof technologies are widely available for most low-sloped roofing materials at low additional cost.
Federal agencies are directed to purchase energy efficient products to realize substantial operating cost savings and help the environment. As the largest consumer, the federal government can significantly increase demand for efficient products and help transition the entire US market towards greater efficiency. Installing high solar reflectance roof products can reduce building cooling costs the most in hot, sunny climates with high roof to building volume ratios and poorly insulated attics.
- Applying a layer of limestone powder as a roof coating could save $2.4-3.6 million per year in electricity costs for cooling North Carolina schools with flat roofs by increasing solar reflectivity.
- Field tests found that limestone coatings provided similar surface cooling to standard white elastomeric coatings, reducing temperatures by up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. A 50g limestone coating could last 1 year, while a thicker 300g coating could last 10 years.
- Whitening roofs with limestone powder would offset about 30,000 tons per year of carbon dioxide emissions from reduced electricity usage, and could pay for itself within a year through energy savings.
ORNL Study on ASV Ventilation_ Ornl apr 2007 b ginf a41 t1-us-07-1Cool Roof Innovations
Field studies were conducted on several attic assemblies having stone-coated metal shake roofs with and without infrared blocking color pigments (IrBCPs) and with and without above-sheathing ventilation. The combination of increased solar reflectance and above-sheathing ventilation reduced the heat flow penetrating the attic floor by 70% as
compared with the heat flow penetrating the attic floor of a roof with conventional asphalt shingles. The venting strategy also eliminated the heating penalty associated with a reflective roof as compared with that of a dark heat-absorbing shingle roof.
Installing a cool roof can reduce energy costs and help the environment. Traditional dark roofs absorb heat from the sun, contributing to urban areas being hotter than rural areas. A cool roof is lighter in color and reflects more sunlight, keeping the roof up to 100 degrees cooler. This cools homes and reduces air conditioning costs by up to 70%. Cool roofs also lessen pollution by reducing the need for fossil fuels to power air conditioning. Both flat and pitched roofs can be made into cool roofs using white coatings or light-colored shingles and tiles respectively.
The document discusses passive design strategies for building envelopes and wall window ratios. It covers topics like building massing and orientation to minimize external energy loads, the building envelope as the boundary between interior and exterior, heat transfer through different envelope components like walls and windows, and the need for insulation and glazing to reduce heat transfer. It also talks about designing window placement and shading to control solar heat gain and the benefits of natural ventilation strategies.
Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

to unify understandings in conversation with our customers, our Authorized Contractors,
and others. We have used standard EPA (Evironmental Protection Agency) definitions
and descriptions as a starting point, expanded with pertinent independent comment,
and, in blue, applied the characteristics of ICC’s ASTEC Re-Ply elastomeric cool roofing
systems to each question at hand. ICC’s intent is to establish common ground for discussions
of Cool Roof technologies, especially as they apply to new codes and expectations
emerging in response to growing environmental awareness and economic realities.

What is a “Green” Roof ?
Green roofs are rooftops planted with vegetation. Intensive green roofs have thick layers of soil (6 to 12
inches, or more) that can support a broad variety of plant or even tree species. Extensive roofs are simpler
green roofs with a soil layer of 6 inches or less to support turf, grass, or other ground cover.
( www.epa.gov )
Can a “White” Roof be “Green”?
Most generally, a roof can be considered “green” if it is environmentally friendly. The International Council
for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction,...formerly... the “Conseil International du Batiment”
(CIB), recognizes a roof as sustainable if it adheres to the following tenets:
1. minimizes the burden on the environment by using the earth’s resources responsibly
2. conserves energy by improving the thermal efficiency of roofs
3. extends roof life span by improving long-term performance (CIB 2001)
( www.fmlink.com article by L.M. Cavanaugh )
...a truly green roof should be identified as:
“...a roofing system that is designed, constructed, maintained, rehabilitated, and demolished with an emphasis
throughout its life-cycle on using natural resources efficiently and preserving the global environment.”
( Cavanaugh citing Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 1996 )
Using the formula below, ASTEC Re-Ply cool roofing now in place is providing 3 million metric tons
of CO2 offset each year. Re-Ply white is definitely “Green”.
“...replacing nonreflective, dark roofing materials with white ones ... (every
1000 square feet) would result in an equivalent CO2 offset of 10 metric tons
(about $250) annually.“

3. U.S. Naval Air Museum, Pensacola, Florida
This museum along the coast of Florida’s panhandle had a heat-absorbing
modified bitumen roof prior to the installation of the ASTEC Re-Ply cool
roof. The installation savings alone were significant. A complete roof tear-off
was under consideration and the price was estimated at over 3 times the
cost of the Re-Ply alternative. In addition, several other “green” benefits
were gained with the selection of the ASTEC Re-Ply roof:
- Land fill and disposal issues were eliminated.
- Energy savings through reduced air conditioning demand were realized.
- Qualifications for LEED benefits were added.
- An easily renewable and sustainable roof was in place for the future.
Also, the ASTEC Re-Ply System did not require the museum to be closed
during the installation. And, unlike the other replacement options, the
Re-Ply roof became a totally seamless, wind and weathertight surface
in a storm-prone region.

4. What is a “Cool” Roof ?
The term cool roof is used to describe roofing material that has high solar reflectance. This characteristic can
reduce heat transfer to the indoors and enhance roof durability. Cool roofs may also be highly emissive,
releasing a large percentage of the solar energy they absorb.
( www.epa.gov )
Albedo (solar reflectance):
Albedo, or solar reflectance, is a measure of a material's ability to reflect sunlight (including the visible, infrared,
and ultraviolet wavelengths) on a scale of 0 to 1. An albedo value of 0.0 indicates that the surface absorbs
all solar radiation, and a 1.0 albedo value represents total reflectivity. EPA ENERGY STAR specifies an albedo
of 0.65 or higher for low-slope roof applications and 0.25 for sloped roofs.
(ASTEC Re-Ply tests independently at .87)
Emittance:
The emittance of a material refers to its ability to release absorbed heat. Scientists use a number between 0
and 1, or 0% and 100%, to express emittance. With the exception of metals, most construction materials
have emittances above 0.85 (85%).
(ASTEC Re-Ply tests independently at .91 thermal emissivity.)
Solar Reflectance Index (SRI):
SRI is a value that incorporates both solar reflectance and emittance in a single value to represent a material's
temperature in the sun. SRI quantifies how hot a surface would get relative to standard black and standard
white surfaces. It is calculated using equations based on previously measured values of solar reflectance and
emittance as laid out in the American Society for Testing and Materials Standard E 1980. It is expressed as
a fraction (0.0 to 1.0) or percentage (0% to 100%).
(ASTEC Re-Ply white acrylic roofs rate as near 100.0 SRI as any current roofing material.)

5. New Orleans Convention Center, New Orleans, Louisiana
A cool roof must keep you dry before it keeps you cool!
An ASTEC Re-Ply system was applied to upgrade an older metal roof for
the New Orleans Convention Center prior to the Katrina hurricane disaster
of 2005. The seamless, weathertight Re-Ply roofing sustained very minimal
damage from the Category 4+ hurricane. This allowed the facility to be used
as a relocation center for occupants of the severely damaged Superdome.
In addition to hurricane-beating toughness, the chart on page 16 shows how
ASTEC Re-Ply Systems easily meet and surpass all recognized criteria for
keeping you cool — saving buildings like this thousands in unnecessary
cooling costs. Policies related to cool roofing from the EPA, ASHRAE, GBI,
USGBC, and others demonstrate how, for ASTEC roofs, “white” can
be very “green”.

6. What are the benefits of a “Cool” Roof ?
Direct and Indirect Energy Savings:
Air conditioning energy savings from installing a cool roof or planting shade trees to reduce heat transfer into
homes and buildings are direct energy savings. Indirect energy savings are savings accrued from lower ambient
temperatures (presuming a decrease in air conditioning under cooler outdoor temperatures).
( www.epa.gov )
Cool roofs reduce the roof surface temperature by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, thereby reducing the heat
transferred into the building below. This helps to reduce energy costs (by keeping attics and ducts cooler),
improve occupant comfort, cut maintenance costs, increase the life cycle of the roof, and reduce urban heat
islands along with associated smog.
Some benefits of Cool Roofs:
• Save on annual electricity bills by reducing summer air conditioning costs.
• Save peak electricity demand costs if you have time-of-use metering.
• Reduce roof maintenance and replacement expenses by extending roof life.
• Increase indoor comfort in summer by reflecting heat from the roof surface.
• Reduce the heat island effect in cities and suburbs.
• Reduce air pollution and smog formation.
• Reduce roofing waste added to landfills.
• Help builders and building managers meet California's Title 24 Energy Efficiency Building Standards.
( www.consumerenergycenter.org )
What is the DOE-2 Model ?
The DOE-2 Model is a computer program that simulates hourly building energy use. It is an international
benchmark used as the basis for building standards in the U.S. and other countries.
( www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/tools_directory )
Just like the example at the right, ASTEC Re-Ply Cool Roof Systems consistently score at the top of any
calculation for reducing building energy use (cooling costs) year after year.
Americans spend about $40 billion annually to air condition buildings —
one-sixth of all electricity generated in this country
( www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=roof_prods.pr_roof_products )
ASTEC can save up to 40% on cooling costs as well as fulfill every other benefit listed above by the
Consumer Energy Center.

7. ASTEC Re-Ply Asphalt Roof
As much as 65°F cooler!
As a check on ASTEC Re-Ply cool roofing effectiveness, the facility above
completed one section of their roof as a seamless Re-Ply surface and used
infrared imaging to visually capture the benefits of maximized cool roof
technology. Heat measurements have revealed as much as a 65°F difference
in roof temperature. That translates, by the DOE-2 Model, into a 33%
air-conditioning energy savings under this ASTEC Re-Ply cool roof.
ASTEC’s “green” cool roof technology saves energy, saves on replacement
costs, saves the environment. Going “green” costs less with ASTEC.
7
8. What ‘s the benefit of Energy Star ®qualified roofs ?
Benefits of ENERGY STAR qualified roof products include:
• Saves Money and Energy. According to EPA, about $40 billion is spent annually in the US to air condition
buildings — one-sixth of all electricity generated in a year! ENERGY STAR qualified roof products reduce
the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce energy bills by up to 50 percent.
• Downsizes Cooling Equipment. A reflective roof can reduce peak cooling demand by 10-15%. As a result,
the home or building owner may be able to purchase a smaller, more efficient, and less expensive cooling
system.
• Decreases Pollution in Urban Areas. Reduced energy demand means less burning of fossil fuels, which
results in less pollution from power plants. Also, ENERGY STAR qualified roof products help to reduce the
“heat island effect,” in which dark, heat-absorbing buildings and paved areas make the air in urban areas
hotter, and more smoggy.
• Increases Roof Product Life. ENERGY STAR qualified roof products maintain a more constant temperature
and reduce thermal shock, which occurs when cool rain hits a hot roof, causing a sharp drop in temperature.
During temperature changes, a roof expands and contracts, causing stress and degrading the roof.
( www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=roof_prods.pr_roof_faqs )
Is roofing a factor in Global Warming ?
The term climate change is often used interchangeably with the term global warming, but according to the
National Academy of Sciences, "the phrase 'climate change' is growing in preferred use to 'global warming'
because it helps convey that there are [other] changes in addition to rising temperatures."
Climate change refers to any significant change in measures of climate (such as temperature, precipitation,
or wind) lasting for an extended period (decades or longer). Climate change may result from:
• natural factors, such as changes in the sun's intensity or slow changes in the Earth's orbit around the sun;
• natural processes within the climate system (e.g. changes in ocean circulation);
• human activities that change the atmosphere's composition (e.g. through burning fossil fuels) and the
land surface (e.g. deforestation, reforestation, urbanization, desertification, etc.)
( www.epa.gov/climatechange/basicinfo.html )
For over 20 years ago, ASTEC Re-Ply cool roof systems have been conserving resources, reducing
landfill waste and developing products and systems that provide renewable protection for our customers
and sustainability for the world.
By reducing the kilowatts needed to keep a building cool, ASTEC Re-Ply roofing helps reduce heat island
effects, CO2 emissions, smog, and other manageable climate change aspects.
ASTEC has also proven that cool roofs can help reduce the destructive natural effects of intense climatic
heat (infrared) and sunlight (ultraviolet) on a roof’s life cycle.
In these ways, we believe our proven technologies are contributing to the management of climate change
from both natural and induced causes.
(Annually) roofing replacement generates 8 to 10 million tons of old
roofing waste. Historically, about 95% (or 22 million cubic yards) ... has
ended up in landfills.
( www.dot.state.tx.us/services/general_services/recycling )

9. Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói, Brazil
“With the whole world becoming more in tune with
climate change, carbon emissions, and sustaining
the planet for more than our own generation, we’re
finding the “green” benefits of ASTEC over the
past 20 years are coming front and center today...
not just here in the states, but around the globe.”
— Rick Thomas, International Business Director, ASTEC Roofs and Walls

10. What is an urban “heat island”?
The urban heat island effect is a measurable increase in ambient urban air temperatures resulting primarily
from the replacement of vegetation with buildings, roads, and other heat-absorbing infrastructure. The heat
island effect can result in significant temperature differences between rural and urban areas.
( www.epa.gov/heatisld/resources/glossary )
On warm summer days, a city can be 6 to 8°F warmer than its surrounding areas. This effect is called the
urban heat island. Cool roof materials, pavements, and vegetation can reduce the heat island effect, save
energy and reduce smog formation. The goal of this research is to develop cool materials to save energy
and money.
( eetd.lbl.gov/r-bldgsee-crhi.html )
The Heat Island Group has monitored buildings in Sacramento with lightly colored, more reflective roofs.
We found that these buildings used up to 40% less energy for cooling than buildings with darker roofs.
The Florida Solar Energy Center performed a similar study, also showing up to 40% cooling energy savings.
( eetd.lbl.gov/HeatIsland/CoolRoofs/ )
By significantly reducing the amount of heat absorbed from dark roofs, ASTEC Re-Ply cool roofs help
reduce the “heat island” effect in major metropolitan areas. ASTEC leads to a positive “domino effect”:
cooler roofs result in interiors that require less air conditioning load to maintain comfortable temperatures.
Lowered air conditioning demand results in less energy use, contributing in turn, to lower emissions and
smog reduction.
10
11. Using the Los Angeles basin as a model, Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory
made some projections based on only a 15% shift* to recommended heat
island mitigation solutions, including cool roof conversions.
...peak power rises 3% for every 0.5°F rise in daily maximum temperature...
about 1-1.5 gigawatts of power are used to compensate the impact of the heat
island... costing the Los Angeles ratepayers about $100,000 per hour, about
$100 million per year.
* Staff scientist Haider Taha... divided the L.A. basin into hundreds of portions
and estimated how much vegetation and reflective surfaces could be added to
each location. Then he added trees and lightened surfaces in only about 15%
of the possible areas. Summer temperatures at 3 p.m. dropped 6°F.
About 40% of the area in the LA basin is covered by buildings (roofs) and roads
which could realistically be made 30% more reflective during their next resurfacing...
summer temperatures in LA at 3 p.m. on August 27 could become 5 to 9°F (or
3 to 5°C) lower... (with a predicted) ozone reduction of 10 to 20% overall.
... the rate of smog formation depends on temperature, this same model... showed
an overall reduction in smog by about 10%, the equivalent of removing three to
five million cars from the roads.
( heatisland.lbl.gov/LEARN/LAIsland/ )

12. Are “Cool ”roofs effective in colder climates ?
Heating or Winter Penalty:
Cool roofs reflect solar energy year-round. In the winter, cool roofs reflect solar energy that could have been
used to warm the building, and more heating energy may be required. This heating penalty is small in most
U.S. climates because there is less sunlight available during the winter In addition, it is usually offset by cooling
.
energy savings during the summer. Cool roofs typically result in net annual energy savings.
( www.epa.gov/heatisld/resources/glossary.html )
Results of UHIPP Eleven City Energy Savings Study
...Energy savings are calculated by comparing decreased summertime costs (from lowered air conditioning
demand) with any observed increases in wintertime heating expenditures. The results of research studies
indicate that in most U.S. climates, summertime air conditioning energy savings significantly exceed this “winter
penalty.”
( www.epa.gov/hiri/strategies/coolroofs.html )
If all roofs were cooler the energy savings in many cities could be tens of millions of dollars a year —
and in the billions nationwide. The commonly referenced graph above uses data projected by the Heat
Island Group of Lawrence Berkley National Laboratories. It shows the estimated annual kilowatt hours
saved by cool roofing in selected cities. These savings are after subtracting any potential winter
penalties. With the cost of energy soaring, these economies become significant even in those regions
with fewest total cooling hours.
Additionally, for buildings in the north, ASTEC Re-Ply elastomeric cool roofing is able to retain its
protective characteristics better than many roofing materials in frigid winters as well as in sweltering
summers.
ASTEC Re-Ply technology stands at the top of cool roof reflectivity and emissivity. Our combination
of energy savings, roof sustainability, and green impact is unbeatable among current cool roofing choices.
12
13. Light Manufacturing Building, Kirkwood, New York
In hot climates, the high reflectivity and high emissivity of ASTEC Re-Ply
cool roofing are constantly saving energy.
In cold climates, the energy savings from reduced summer cooling costs are
still shown to override any heating energy gains in the winter. This is especially
true in metropolitan areas with “heat island” temperatures and high energy
costs. It should also be noted that a dark roof, covered with snow, is still
reflecting solar energy (forfeiting any benefit of a dark roof in winter).
Additionally, in any climate, the cost of replacing a roof far exceeds the cost
of an ASTEC Re-Ply system. Never pay to replace a roof if you can simply
Re-Ply it.
"The estimated U.S.potential savings for white roofs are
in excess of $1 billion per year in net annual energy
bills (cooling-energy savings minus heating-
energy penalties).”

ASTEC Re-Ply Systems meet or beat the toughest guidelines for durable,
watertight service, including Military Specifications. And, as testified
above, we have been providing the “extra” benefits of cool roofing
for many years.
ASTEC Re-Ply Systems have also
been tested for compliance with the
Factory Mutual System for metal roofs, and by
the Miami-Dade Building Code, recognized as the
benchmark for much building code enforcement
nationwide.
In addition to the organizations listed on pages 12 & 14, many
individual states, municipalities and international bodies have
evolving guidelines, codes and programs to introduce planet-
sustaining assets to new and renovating construction. Some, with
recommendations directly related to cool roofing, have registered
with the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) of which ASTEC’s Insulating
Coatings Corporation is a charter member.

18. Are there other benefits to ASTEC Re-Ply roofing ?
Putting aside all the “green” advantages in this booklet, ASTEC Re-Ply cool roofing membranes have
inherent benefits as part of their titanium white, 100% acrylic, ceramic-impregnated formulations and
stringent application specifications. This combination makes ASTEC Re-Ply technologies today’s smart
choice for your roofing needs:
Installation savings up to 50% or more
ASTEC Re-Ply fluid-applied cool roof coatings can be
installed directly over most traditional roof substrates.
Tear-off, land-fill fees, reconstruction, and long facility
disruptions are eliminated.
A UV solar shield
The ASTEC Re-Ply ceramic-impregnated, titanium acrylic
base has superior resistance to UV degradation than most
traditional roofing materials.
Seamless wind and weather protection
Once all the old joints, fasteners, and leaks are made
watertight, seamless layers of ASTEC Re-Ply rust protection,
waterproofing, and resilient top coatings are fluid applied.
There are no edges, butting, or overlaps for wind to find.
A corrosion barrier
ASTEC Re-Ply formulations are virtually impervious to
ocean salt spray, acid rain, and other airborne contaminants.
All-climate stability
Once cured, a Re-Ply surface retains its flexible, watertight
superiority in extremes of heat or cold, and dry or wet
conditions.
Reduces thermal shock damage
ASTEC Re-Ply seamless insulating roofs minimize the effects
of varying coefficients of expansion and contraction within
roofs and buildings that cause damaging shifts, cracking, and
loosening conditions.
The ASTEC®10-Year Renewable™Warranty
A professionally applied ASTEC Re-Ply Cool Roof is
guaranteed weathertight for 10 years — material AND labor.
It can be renewed to original condition at a fraction of
replacement costs.

The Diablo Canyon Power Plant is a prime example of the numerous
benefits of the ASTEC Re-Ply System. Situated right on the Pacific Ocean,
the facilities are constantly exposed to moisture, UV degradation, and
thermal shock, as well as the highly corrosive salt mist environment.
Various ASTEC Re-Ply systems have been protecting several roof
surfaces at the facility from these damaging effects for a number of years.
Very few facilities are exposed to so many climate challenges.
