Content Description

Designing Buildings for Heat Resilience & Energy Efficiency, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: CR-EN-197501-0525

Cool Roof Rating Council Urban warming negatively impacts human health and quality of life, energy use, air quality, social equity, and economic prosperity. This course describes how solar reflective cool roof and wall materials help protect individuals and communities from the impacts of extreme heat and discusses the factors that influence energy savings and performance. The course also notes various climate resilience initiatives, green building programs, and energy codes that require or promote the use of cool roofs or walls and concludes by explaining the important role of third-party product ratings and the educational resources available online. 60 minutes.

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss the human and environmental impacts of the urban heat island effect and the benefits of designing to increase occupant comfort, reduce energy demand, and increase resilience.
  • Describe the radiative properties of cool roofs and walls that can reduce a building's solar heat gain and lower temperatures of buildings and surrounding communities.
  • Recall the available cool roof and exterior wall materials and the design and installation considerations for cooler climates to maintain occupant comfort.
  • Identify codes, standards, and programs that prescribe the use of cool roof and exterior wall materials and determine which materials will meet project requirements using a third-party database of rated products.

Faculty BIO

Sarah Yuko Schneider is the Deputy Director of the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides objective, scientific information related to cool surfaces to critical discussions and informed decisions about the impacts of heat islands, extreme heat, and energy use in the built environment. She joined the organization in 2013 and oversees policy and standards development, ANSI and ISO accreditations, code advocacy, and outreach and education activities in the US and internationally.

Prior to the CRRC, Sarah worked as a consultant to energy utilities for the development of energy and water efficiency codes and standards; she developed stakeholder outreach materials for California Marine Protected Areas for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife; and she managed a municipal energy program in Northern California. Sarah has a Master's degree in Public Policy with a focus in Environmental Justice and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science.
