Roof System Discussion
Donald Bren School of Environmental Science & Management Roof System

"To reduce "heat-island" effect, an energy star "white cap" roofing material was chosen. The white material reflects light, thus cooling the building. The roof-integrated photovoltaic system allows Bren Hall to generate 7-10% of its power cleanly on site."
— Donald Bren School, 'About Donald Bren Hall'

"Energy efficiency exceeds California Title 24 (1998) by 30%. ... Roof-mounted solar panels supply 7% of the energy needed.
— USGBC LEED certification summary
