This presentation examines the role of concrete tile roof systems as a high performing component of the building enclosure, with a specific focus on energy performance and solar compatibility.

While roofing discussions often center on aesthetics or installation, this session shifts the focus to how roof system design influences heat transfer, peak energy demand, and long-term operational costs.

Using data from industry and national laboratory studies, including temperature and energy use comparisons between tile and shingle roof systems, the presentation will explore how ventilation, air space, material density, and thermal behavior affect building performance. Eagle Roofing Products USA
