What is Emissivity?
The ratio of the radiation emitted by a surface to the radiation emitted by a black body at
the same temperature. It measures a material's ability to radiate absorbed energy.
What is albedo?
Albedo is synonymous with solar reflectance. It is a measure of the ability of a surface
material to reflect sunlight in forms of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths,
which is measured on a scale of 0 to 1. Black paints has an albedo of 0 and white paint
as an albedo of 1.
What does Solar reflectance index (SRI) account for?
The SRI index is a numerical representation of a material's ability to reject or reflect
solar heat. SRI is determined by measuring temperature changes or by using an ASTM
standard based on the solar spectrum.
What is solar reflectance?
Solar reflectance is synonymous with albedo. It is a measure of the ability of a surface
material to reflect sunlight in forms of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths,
which is measured on a scale of 0 to 1. Black paints has an albedo of 0 and white paint
as an albedo of 1.
What is Heat Island Effect?
The heat island effect is a situation where the absorption of heat by hardscapes,
buildings and dark materials then radiates to surrounding areas. The term describes the
event where radiant air and surface temperatures in urban areas are higher than rural or
suburban areas nearby.
What can cause the heat island effects?
Dark surfaces that absorb heat (black roofs, asphalt),
vehicle exhaust, air-conditioners, reduced air flow from
tall buildings and narrow streets
What is SRI?
A value that incorporates both solar reflectance and emittance in a single value to
represent a material's temperature in the sun. Materials with the highest SRI
values are the coolest choices for paving. SRI is usually present on a scale of 0 least
reflective to 100 most reflective.

Station, Beauty Salon, Hardware, Laundry, Library, Medical or Dental Office, Senior

Community Center, Fitness Center, Museum.
