    with R. M. Levinson, G. Ban-Weiss, H. Gilbert, P. Berdahl, P. Rosado, H. Destaillats, M. Sleiman, and T. Kirchstetter
    As the least expensive category of high-slope roofing in the U.S., shingles are found on the roofs of about 80% of U.S. homes, and constitute about 80% of this market. Shingles are also among the least reflective high-slope roofing products, with few cool options on the market.

This project targets the development of high-performance cool shingles w…Read more
