Codes & Standards

ANSI/CRRC S100 Standard

The standard covers test specimen preparation and test methods for measuring the initial and aged radiative properties of roofing products. The standard is referenced by building codes and rating programs worldwide in order to measure the initial and aged solar reflectance and thermal emittance of roofing products.

California Title 24, Part 6

California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings (Title 24, Part 6) contains requirements for the thermal emittance, three-year aged reflectance, and Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of roofing materials used in new construction and re-roofing projects.

Los Angeles Green Building Code

The L.A. Green Building Code requires roofing material used in residential buildings meet minimum values for three-year aged solar reflectance and thermal emittance, or aged SRI.

LEED Certification System

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the U.S. Green Building Council's voluntary green building certification system that offers Heat Island credits for the use of cool roof materials.
