That link doesn't really support what I think you are claiming. Their models show solar reflective paint reducing heat over a black roof. Most of the myths they bust are about it keeping a house warm, which it doesn't.
- axiolite 5y agoReflective roof paint only helps if you have no insulation (which might be true of a shed, detached garage, etc.). Basic R-4 insulation performs dramatically better. "A cool roof does not improve energy efficiency if your ceiling is [...] insulated, the roof area temperature is not lowered enough using a paint to make a quantifiable difference."
