Maintenance of solar reflectance the test surface of each sample shall not be washed cleaned or wiped in any fashion prior to testing aged solar reflectance.
Pinnacle roof meet energy star requirements.
The hotter the roof the more energy it takes to cool the building beneath it.
For energy star compliance the roof coverings must be naturally aged for three years then the reflectivity and emissivity are measured.
The energy star energy efficiency criteria do not include a specification for roof insulation.
So in 1999 the u s.
See actual warranty for complete details limitations and requirements.
Reflectivity requirements differ for low slope and steep slope roofs.
Estimated roof surface temperature reduction based on 1998 nist study.
For steep slope applications greater than 2 12 pitch.
Energy star certified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10 15 percent.
Initial minimum solar reflectance of 0 25 and 3 year aged minimum solar reflectance of 0 15.
4 6as required in the energy star test method for roof products.
Environmental protection agency s energy star program began rating roofing materials for energy.
Energy star initial requirements.
Energy star program requirements for roof products eligibility criteria 7.
The provisions of title 24 allow for simulated aging called rapid ratings.
