Cool Roof Demonstrations
- Living Roof
Rolling hills and fields cover 87% of our 2.5-acre rooftop, offering a home to local wildlife while keeping the Academy green in more ways than one.
- China-US Clean Energy Research Center (CERC)
Solar-reflective “cool” roofs are used in the U.S. to (i) decrease energy use, energy cost, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions via both reduced solar heat gain and lower outside air temperatures
- Cool Roof Challenge – Kigali Efficiency Program
Cool Roof Challenge – Kigali Efficiency Program is a research developed by Beta Paramita Lecturer of Architecture Faculty of Technology and Vocational Education (FPTK) Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
- First Cool Roof for a National School in Lima, Peru
In 2011, a cooperation between the Ministry of Environment (MINAM) and the Ministry of Education (MINEDU) of Peru carried out the Project Ecolegios, Sustainable Architecture.
- White Roofs NZ
White Roofs is a simple idea that offers one of the fastest and lowest cost ways of helping reduce global warming by mimicking how the polar icecaps reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet
- NYC °CoolRoofs
The NYC °CoolRoofs initiative encourages building owners to cool their rooftops by applying a reflective white coating that reduces energy use, cooling costs and carbon emissions.
- Cool Roofs in China-US CERC-BEE
The Clean Energy Research Center, a joint effort between the United States and China to promote clean energy practices, was established in November 2009.
- Material Rating Program
The Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) is an independent, non-profit organization that maintains a third-party rating system for radiative properties of roof surfacing materials.
- Cool Roofs and Cool Pavements Toolkit
This guide was developed for a range of audiences to help speed a transition to cool roofs and pavements.
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Heat Island Group
The Heat Island Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory works to cool buildings, cities, and the planet by making roofs, pavements, and cars cooler in the sun.
