Abstract
Exemplary systems and methods allow for enhanced energy performance of buildings, for example hybrid roof systems. The system may utilize a material having a porous water-retaining substrate and a high albedo coating. The high albedo coating may be disposed on the outer surface of the porous water-retaining substrate.
Claims8
A method of retrofitting a building roof, the method comprising:
