For steep slope applications greater than 2 12 pitch.
Energy star initial requirements.
A roof that meets the energy star performance requirements is considered one that is cool and helps to reduce urban heat island effects.
See actual warranty for complete details limitations and requirements.
Initial minimum solar reflectance of 0 25 and 3 year aged minimum solar reflectance of 0 15.
For energy star compliance the roof coverings must be naturally aged for three years then the reflectivity and emissivity are measured.
