Abstract: Abstract Highly reflective roofs, widely known as cool roofs, can reduce peak surface temperatures and the energy required to cool buildings, mitigate urban microclimates, and offset CO 2 . However, weathering, soiling, and biological growth affect their solar reflectance. In this study, the solar spectral reflectances of 12 roofing membranes were measured before the exposure and after 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months of natural ageing in Roma and Milano, Italy. The membranes with an initial solar reflectance greater than 0.80, for example, decrease... (read more)

Popularity:
This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.
Influence:
This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Citation Count:
This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Impulse:
This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.
