Course Description: AEC Daily: Metal Roofing Color Considerations to Save Energy & Meet Green Building Requirements
Metal roofing offers longevity, durability, and visual appeal. Today, a range of color and finish options are available that afford specifiers broad design flexibility. This course explores key solar reflectance and sustainability considerations when evaluating metal roofing colors and how selection relates to requirements in codes and green building programs such as LEED® v4.1 Building Design and Construction, Sustainable SITES Initiative® v2, and the WELL Building Standard™ version 2. Case studies demonstrate how metal roofing colors have been used to meet design and sustainability objectives.
Describe the causes and impacts of urban heat islands and how cool roofs can meet LEED v4.1 and SITES v2 requirements for heat island reduction.
Identify the resources and metrics available to compare and evaluate the solar reflectance properties of metal roofing colors to gauge their contributions to energy efficiency and thermal comfort requirements in LEED v4.1 and WELL v2.
Discuss how metal roofing can be responsibly sourced to meet the requirements in LEED v4.1 and SITES v2.
Explain how metal roofing color considerations can contribute to creating thermally comfortable microclimates for outdoor restorative and gathering spaces as required by SITES v2 and WELL v2.
