What Is a Cool Roof?
A cool roof is a roofing product that reflects
sunlight and absorbs less heat than traditional
roofs. This keeps homes cooler inside, saving
energy by reducing the need for running airconditioning systems.
Starting January 1, 2014, the Los Angeles
Green Building Code requires that roofing
material used in residential buildings meets
these Aged SRI values:
COOL
R OOFING
There are a few exceptions to the above
requirements:
• Roof repairs
• Roof replacement when the roof area
being replaced is equal to or less than
50% of the total roof area
• Where building-integrated photovoltaics
(BIPV) are installed
