Enhancing Building Efficiency and Resilience with Solar-Reflective Cool Exterior Walls

Tuesday, November 3 at 9:00 AM

Facility managers have long recognized the benefits of solar-reflective, or "cool," roofs, which help lower energy use, reduce costs, and improve occupant comfort. Now, those same benefits can be achieved with cool exterior walls, which reflect solar radiation to help keep unwanted heat out of buildings during warm weather.

In this session, you'll learn about the colors and technologies available for cool exterior walls, the role of third-party radiative property ratings in earning LEED v5 and Green Globes points, and free resources for identifying cool wall products and estimating energy savings. You'll also hear case studies and testimonials from facility managers who have successfully gone "cool."
