To obtain a copy of a specific publication, users should contact the publication's publisher directly.

Abstract
The potential energy efficiency benefits of "white roofs" are well known, but very little long term thermal performance data has been published on their aging effects at well characterized field test sites. These coatings are expected to remain effective for at least 5-20 years in most roofing applications. Results from a well characterized filed study at ORNL is presented.
