Radiation control coatings installed on rough-surfaced built-up roofs; initial test results.

Summary

The solar reflectance and thermal performance of small samples of various radiation control coatings on smooth surfaces have been tracked for several years on a roof test facility in East Tennessee. The focus is on white coatings because of their potential to weather, which causes the solar reflectance to decrease as the coatings age. Some tests results are given.
