Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC)
Did you know
Metal roofs typically have a minimum recycled content of 25%. Metal roofs are 100% recyclable at the end of a long, useful life.
More Cool Facts
CRRC, a national initiative created in 1998, has established a methodology and system of quality control for roofing manufacturers to report reflectance and admittance data in roofing products. CRRC does not set reflectivity or emissivity criteria. It does not specify what is or is not a cool roof. The reflectivity and emissivity criteria are determined by the project specifier, building owner, code body, or others. Through a licensing program, manufacturers are able to utilize a proprietary CRRC label to designate the properties of their products.
Residential and commercial building owners can save money on energy bills by using green roofing products. For example, studies have reported up to a 20% drop in energy costs by converting from an asphalt roof to a prepainted metal roof.
