Assumes 20% of roofs are replacing existing cool roofs, 5% of roofs are installed over unheated spaces, and 20% of roofs are installed over non-cooled spaces. Calculations derived using the EnergyWise Calculator ( for gross heating and cooling costs and the DOE Cool Roof Calculator ( for cool roof energy costs. 2)Actual R values vary +/- R5, depending on ASHRAE climatic zone. 3)A cool roof is defined as a roof offering 50% long-term solar reflectivity or the thermal equivalent for the service life of the roof. 4)Best practices is defined as 2 or more staggered insulation board layers to minimize thermal loss at board joints.
