The Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that develops accurate and credible methods for evaluating and labeling the surface radiative properties (solar reflectance and thermal emittance) of roofing and exterior wall products. The CRRC also provides education to the public on how solar-reflective roofs and walls can help improve building energy efficiency, increase occupant comfort, mitigate the Urban Heat Island effect, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. MISSION - To implement and communicate fair, accurate, and credible radiative energy performance rating systems for roof or wall surfaces - To support research into energy related radiative properties of roof or wall surfaces, including durability of those properties - To provide education and objective support to parties interested in understanding and comparing various product options

🚀 The Keep Your Cool Education Campaign Has Officially Launched! 🚀 ❄ What is this campaign? Keep Your Cool is an educational campaign promoting the climate-appropriate use of cool roofs and walls as no-regret choices whose benefits will grow as the nation warms, providing easy-to-understand info on how these cool surfaces block unwanted solar heat, protecting homes, workplaces, and communities. ☀ 🌡 Why does it matter? As we face another summer of intense heat, it's crucial to find ways to keep cool in our homes and neighborhoods since extreme heat is the main weather-related cause of death in the United States. Supported by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), U.S. Department of Energy, this campaign helps the public and those in the industry access valuable resources and understand the benefits of cool surfaces. 📚 📽 What’s included? With contributions from over 30 stakeholders, including roof and wall product manufacturers and industry associations, building professionals, utilities, government agencies, and non-profit environmental groups, as well as the Cool Roof Rating Council Education Committee, the campaign's website offers free educational content, social media-friendly messages, graphics, videos, fact sheets, guidelines, and case studies. Project history & actions: This campaign is just one part of the broader US Cool Surfaces Deployment Project, focused on providing technical assistance, educating various audiences, and designing high-profile demonstrations in disadvantaged communities. Its project staff include: Berkeley Lab, Cool Roof Rating Council, Smart Surfaces Coalition, Arizona State University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. 🌐 Check out the website now for information and resources, and stay tuned for more! https://lnkd.in/eUhQnKaD 📑 View the US Cool Surfaces Deployment Project here: https://lnkd.in/emgGmEbd #KeepYourCool #CoolSurfaces
