The results indicate that high albedo materials can have a large impact on the surface temperature regime.
High albedo roofing materials.
This roof has a high albedo and reflects about 63 of the energy from sunlight.
On clear sunny days when the solar noon surface temperatures of conventional roofing materials were about 40 degrees c 72 degrees f warmer than air the surface temperature of high albedo coatings were only about 5 degrees c warmer than air.
While the albedo of 0 2 represents a typical roof with a dark surface default value in energyplus the albedo of 0 5 represents a roof top with a bright color after weatherization deterioration of albedo during the first years and is a conservative estimate of the albedo of high albedo sloped roofs.
Coolroof heat reflective paint has been designed to give relief from roof heat as it is a high albedo paint having high sri value which makes it most suitable for roof insulation.

Its solar reflective properties make it one of the most suitable solar.
By preventing a majority of the heat from ever reaching the surface these roofs work to greatly reduce hvac cooling costs during the summer months.
A sample.
Being a roof cooling and insulation paint it will act as a protective coating and best summer cool paint.
A sample cool roof.
This high sri paint acts as heat reducing paint which can be applied as cool roof coating having single objective of roof insulation.
On a sunny day a roof that strongly reflects sunlight can stay much cooler than a roof that absorbs sunlight.
In the morning and in the late afternoon the high albedo materials were as cool as the air itself.
