Applications: New building terraces
Cool Roof requirements as per ECBC norms: (Reflective tiles or Heat Resistant tiles) (ASTM E 1980-11, EN 673:2011 and EN 410:2011) |

A building receives most of the heat through roof by radiation. Heat moves in and out of your home (or about any other structure) in four ways: by conduction (which R-Value measures), and by convection, radiation (which S.R.I value measures) and air infiltration. |
