Drawing on research from industry sources and national laboratory studies, the presentation compares the temperature and energy performance of concrete tile and asphalt shingle roof systems. Attendees learn how ventilation, air space, material density, and thermal behavior contribute to overall building efficiency and help reduce cooling loads.

The webinar also addresses the growing importance of solar-ready roofing systems, explaining how concrete tile roofs support photovoltaic installations while helping projects meet evolving energy code requirements. Additional discussion covers the long-term durability of tile roofing systems and their role in improving occupant comfort and reducing energy demand across residential, multifamily, and institutional buildings.

Key topics include:

• The thermal performance advantages of concrete tile roof systems
• Research comparing tile and shingle roofing energy performance
• Roof system design factors that influence heat transfer and energy use
• Best practices for integrating solar with tile roofing
• The role of concrete tile roofing in durability, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort

The webinar is now available to watch on demand for architects, engineers, contractors, roofing professionals, and other building industry stakeholders interested in high-performance roofing solutions and energy-efficient building design.
