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.
Claims17
A hybrid roof system for a building, comprising:
- a material comprising:
- a porous water-retaining substrate;
- and
- a high albedo coating disposed on a first side of the porous water-retaining substrate.

A hybrid roof system for a building, comprising:
- a plurality of hybrid roof components, each hybrid roof component comprising:
- a material having a porous polyurethane substrate and a high albedo coating, the high albedo coating being disposed on an outer surface of the porous polyurethane substrate;
- a plurality of frames, each frame having at least one hybrid roof component from the plurality of hybrid roof components disposed within the frame.
A method of retrofitting a building roof, the method comprising:
- coupling, to a building at the location of the removed portion of the building roof, a plurality of roofing panels, wherein each roofing panel comprises:
- a rigid frame;
- and
- a porous water-retaining substrate disposed within the rigid frame,
- wherein a high albedo coating is disposed on a first side of the porous water-retaining substrate.
