Leed Sri Series Of Roof Pavers

We have developed several series of porcelain pavers that provide reflectance and emissive values providing great performance to the green roof concept.

Leed sri series of roof pavers.

With the introduction of its new thin paver architects and designers will now have the freedom of specifying a one inch thick paver that boasts the strength of its two to four inch thick counterparts. Asphalt dark concrete and other surfaces with a low sri attract the sun s heat which causes the surface and surrounding air temperatures to rise. Steep sloped roofing with an sri of at least 29 for a minimum of 75 of the roof surface credit 7 2. These points can be earned by specifying materials with a solar reflective index sri of at least 29 when measured according to astm e903 or astm c1549.

7 1 heat island effect non roof for new construction existing buildings school and core shell. Leed credits solar reflectance index sri is measure of a surfaces ability to reject solar heat. Concrete can contribute to leed points sustainable sites category. Leed is transforming the marketplace because architects increasingly specify materials that qualify for leed points.

As of august 2006 62 of leed project qualified for credit 7 1. Westile white solar reflective pavers have a standard solar reflective index sri of 79 7 which will help meet most requirements for low slope roof energy efficiency. This high sri value allows you to meet the needs for leed certified projects when used on your roof and decks. Our cool roof pavers utilize a high reflective value and low emissivity rate resulting in a high solar reflectance index sri value.

Granite tech pavers are produced using recycled crushed granite aggregate within a color cement matrix the pavers are ground to expose natural beauty of the granite chips and can be honed. Currently to qualify for these points samples of the paving and roofing materials must be tested according to specified test procedures. The aggregate surface is pressed into the stone surface simultaneously with the body of the stone in a single process and not in layers. Leed details large format pavers series series s specialized manufacturing process creates a striking visual effect with the surface granite particles and also results in an extremely durable paver.

With pavers yielding high reflectance and emittance values hanover pavers earn sustainable site credits and help to achieve leed certification. The actual sri value of the.
