2024 IIBEC Convention Session - An Updated Holistic Look at Old Assumptions: Studies on Roof Albedo (Thorp E., Wilen J.) $95.00 Member/$110.00 Nonmember

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona.  This course includes the following components:

• recording of the live session
• a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions
• two surveys required to claim continuing education credit

Session Description
Over the past 30 years, numerous studies on roof albedo and its impact on energy efficiency and urban heat islands have been conducted. New research carried out over the last three years indicates several nuances and even gaps in the three-decades-long discussion of whether a black or white roof is better. This presentation will examine three of these new studies: a study by global consulting firm ICF on the impact of roof albedo on energy efficiency; a study by ICF on the impact of reflective roofs on urban heat islands; and a critical literature review by Clemson University of previously published studies and articles on roof albedo.
