Pilot-Credits SSpc154:Heat Island Mitigation with Cool Walls

Cool walls materials database

Hello LEEDusers!

Do you know if there is a database where I can find "cool walls" materials, which includes manufacterers and values needed?

Hello Mariel,  Here is a database of some painings with both the SR and TE values: https://coolroofs.org/directory/wall?initial_solar_reflectance=0.6&page=1&initial_thermal_emittance=0.75 I understand that it is updated periodically. We recommend that when the specification is requested from the manufacturer, it is verified that it indeed corresponds to the same paint formulation. I would request a formal letter with the values from the study to confirm them with those in the database.

Great resource. Thanks, Valeria!

I had the same question, since it is difficult to find providers with technical data sheets containing detailed information that ensures credit compliance. Thank you, Valeria, for the resource.

Many cladding materials aren't found in the database since the test method may not properly measure the solar reflectance properly. The database is mainly for paints and coatings.
