Learning Objectives

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
1. Discuss the human and environmental impacts of the urban heat island effect and the benefits of designing to increase occupant comfort, reduce energy demand, and increase resilience
2. Describe the radiative properties of cool roofs and walls that can reduce a building’s solar heat gain and lower temperatures of buildings and surrounding communities
3. Recall the available cool roof and exterior wall materials and the design and installation considerations for cooler climates to maintain occupant comfort
4. Identify codes, standards, and programs that prescribe the use of cool roof and exterior wall materials and determine which materials will meet project requirements using a third-party database of rated products
