What are cool roofs?

Cool roofs are designed to significantly reduce roof surface temperatures, thereby decreasing heat transfer into buildings and promoting energy efficiency. By utilising materials with high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, these roofs lower the demand for air conditioning, offering substantial energy savings and extending the lifespan of roofing materials. The environmental benefits include mitigating the urban heat island effect and reducing pollution. Companies like Ratio Seven play a pivotal role in the implementation of cool roof solutions by guiding clients through material selection, recommending suitable cool roof types, and leveraging their expertise to enhance energy efficiency and durability in building projects.
