Black surfaces in the sun light can become extremely hot reaching temperatures of 90 degrees F which is hotter than the most reflective white surfaces. This heat can increase stress to the entire roofing system, meaning that it will shorten the life span of your roof. This also means your AC system has to work harder to cool the building off. Heat can get trapped and remain hotter inside even when the sun goes down making for uncomfortable nights. Many aspects are affected by this such as increased energy demand, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, heat related illnesses and more.
