Abstract
Late last year the Florida Solar Energy Center released the results of a real-world study of heat gains in houses with different roofing materials. The experiment monitored indoor cooling energy usage for seven side-by-side homes in Ft. Myers, during the summer of 2000. Each home was virtually idential except for roofing material (one had a sealed attic and roof deck insulation). The study showed that white S-tile produced the lowest attic heat gain.
