For those following California's 2013 Title 24 Codes & Standards Program, please note that the presentations for the Friday, June 10 workshop in Sacramento have now been posted to the CEC Website.

Please note in particular the LBNL presentation on the equation. We are being told that the change in the formula for the calculation that LBNL will present will only adjust for field applied coatings and the coefficient for predictive equations will move from .70 to .65.
The Reflective Roof Coatings Institute is closely following this, and will have representation at the meeting on Friday. The website also provides information to join the workshop remotely. Please note that RRCI has taken a position, along with many adjacent roofing industry trade associations, to generally oppose the CEC proposal, and have requested access to the CEC data, which they have advised they will provide.
On behalf of the roofing industry coalition, Jim Hoff of CEIR will present a Solar Analysis Savings Comparison that will help highlight the minimal energy benefit offered by the proposed change in aged reflectance.
The roofing industry trade associations are meeting again next week to discuss observations from Friday's call and determine next steps. Please contact casey@robstan.com with any comments.
