Using Cool Roofs to Reduce Heat Islands | US EPA
Because cool roofs reflect sunlight and reduce solar heat gain into a building, they may increase energy use in buildings during winter months in cold climates. However, this so-called "heating penalty" is typically offset by summer cooling energy savings. 4. Several factors can limit or reduce the heating penalty of cool roofs in winter.
