“THE COOL ROOF”
Light colored high profiled tiles, (if possible with reflective coating).Tiles laid on counter battensVentilation of the batten space at the eaves level and at higher level.Radiant barrier at rafter height.Roof space ventilation at eaves, ridge and gable.Insulation at ceiling or rafter height

What makes a roof “Cool”?
High surface reflectivity
High emissivity
Air circulation – Above Sheathing Ventilation (AVS)

California Climate Zones
• Climate Zones 9-15 represent greatest challenge for energy savings.
• Tile roofs most common new construction roofing material.
• Compare existing methods of installation to methods that employ enhanced air flow between the roof deck and roofing material.
• Analyze Above Sheathing Ventilation (AVS)

The role of air movement in the batten-spaceStudy conducted by Lafarge Roofing
Technical Centers
Tiles and slates are air permeable providing an air permeability of approximately 0.5% to 1% of the laid area. Complicated flow networks are found between tiles and underlaymentThe flow between tiles and underlayment will influence:
• The energy performance of the roof
• The wind loading on the tiles
• The driving-rain performance
• The dispersion of moisture

A flat tile with limited Above Sheathing Ventilation meets the performance of the default construction.
The higher thermal mass of the tile also contributes to the benefit:
• Tile mass: 10.2 lb/ft2 Default construction: 1.7 lb/ft2
Improved ASV under the roof tiles reduces the annual energy losses - the tile roof is then always at least equal to the default construction
Improved ASV is achieved by:
• Elevating the roof tiles with counter-battens.
• Using profiled tiles instead of flat tiles.
• Increasing the ridge & eaves ventilation.
All of these improvements reduce the air flow resistance under the tiles and improve the energy benefits from ASV.
Limited ASV versus full ASV Main findings
15
Above Sheathing Ventilation
As the temperature under the tile increases, the heated air rises toward the ridge, drawing cooler air into the system through the vented eave risers.
The heated air exhausts through the vented ridge assembly. The high profile tile allows more heated air to exhaust from beneath the cap tiles.

Complicated flow networks are found in both mono-pitch & duo-pitch roof types
The ventilation rate & heat benefits from wind driven air flows are broadly similar for both roof types.

Airspace beneath S-tile
Natural airspace along with air permeability of
installed tiles promotes air flow beneath and around
tiles.
