It may be a clich by now to say that cool roofing is a hot topic, but there have been important developments in this area of the industry. Two things to keep an eye on in the coming year are a new product rating system from the Cool Roof Rating Council and the implementation of the City of Chicago’s Energy Conservation Code.
Leonard says, “The CRRC has launched its Product Rating Program after three years and a lot of work on the part of dozens of roofing professionals.” Roofing material manufacturers and CRRC-licensed sellers of roofing materials began submitting CRRC ratings program applications and samples for testing in October 2002. Those members of CRRC who chose to participate in the program immediately are being designated “Charter Members.”
