Online solar reflectance index (SRI) tool
Posted on Monday, December 15, 2014
PPG Industries’ coil and extrusion
coatings group has launched an online
tool that helps architects and building
owners select the best cool roof coating
color, based on reflectance, for new and
retrofit building projects. Users can
compare hundreds of cool roof coating
colors, many registered with Energy
Star or the Cool Roof Rating Council
(CRRC), by visiting coolcolorsdatabase.
ppg.com and entering available or
desired data. Based on the criteria provided,
the selector tool generates a
report with data tables and color
swatches for all matching cool roof
coating colors.
