Cool roofs reflect 50-85% of solar radiation vs 5-20% for traditional roofs. Surface temperatures 50-70°F cooler. Reduces attic heat, extends HVAC life, and cuts cooling costs $300-$600/year for average Austin home.
Best Energy Efficient Materials for Austin
White TPO (87% solar reflectance), standing seam metal with cool coating (70% reflectance), light-colored tiles (65-75%), and 'cool' asphalt shingles with IR-reflective granules (40-50% reflectance).
Ventilation Is Critical
Proper attic ventilation (ridge + soffit vents) removes hot air before it enters home. Reduces attic temps by 20-40°F. Without ventilation, even cool roofs lose 50% of efficiency. Budget $400-$800 for proper ventilation.
