About this document
ASHRAE 90.2: Reflective Roofs Impact Analysis by Hermes Polanco is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses simulation results from modeling the impact of increasing roof reflectivity on the energy use of residential buildings in various climates. The simulations used a prototypical single-family home and varied factors like roof reflectivity, insulation, duct configuration, and climate. The results indicate that in hot climates, increasing roof reflectivity from 20% to 60% can reduce energy use equivalently to adding over half the amount of roof insulation. The simulations were intended t
