Cool roofs need regular inspections, cleaning, and prompt repairs to ensure longevity and energy efficiency. Coating reapplication may be necessary every 5–10 years, and foot traffic should be limited to protect the reflective surface. Additionally, monitoring reflectivity and controlling vegetation and drainage are essential for optimal performance.

Regular Inspections: Inspect the roof at least twice a year (spring


and fall) to check for damage, degradation, or loss of reflectivity.
Pay special attention to seams, coatings, and areas with foot
traffic43.


Cleaning: Keep the roof clear of dirt, debris, and stains to maintain
its reflective properties. Cleaning can be done with mild detergent
and water using a soft brush-avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure
washers, which can damage the surface418.


Prompt Repairs: Address cracks, punctures, or coating damage as


soon as they are noticed to prevent leaks and maintain
performance43.


Coating Reapplication: For cool roof coatings, periodic


reapplication may be needed every 5–10 years, depending on the
product and environmental conditions41.


Limit Foot Traffic: Minimize walking on the roof to avoid damaging


the reflective surface. Use designated pathways if equipment access
is necessary3.


Vegetation and Drainage Control: Remove any vegetation and


ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling, which can
degrade materials and reduce effectiveness4.

Monitor Reflectivity: Over time, solar reflectance can decrease by


10–20% due to soiling and weathering, so maintaining cleanliness is
crucial for sustained energy savings14.

Summary:
Cool roofs require regular inspections, cleaning, prompt repairs, and
occasional recoating to maximize their lifespan and maintain
energy-saving benefits4138.
