About Us

The Cool Roof Rating Council was created in 1998 to develop accurate and credible methods for evaluating and labeling the solar reflectance and thermal emittance (radiative properties) of roofing products and to disseminate the information to all interested parties.

MISSION

The CRRC is incorporated as a non-profit educational organization for the following purposes:

  • To implement and communicate fair, accurate, and credible radiative energy performance rating systems for roof surfaces.
  • To support research into energy related radiative properties of roofing surfaces, including durability of those properties.
  • To provide education and objective support to parties interested in understanding and comparing various roofing options.

By pursuing this mission, the CRRC will become the recognized informational resource for reducing the urban heat island effect, increasing building energy efficiency, improving occupant comfort, and mitigating the global climate effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
