Inquiry

The EPA\'s Energy Star program addresses roofing products categorized into two roof types: 1. low slope roofs (roofs with slopes less than 2:12) and, 2. steep slope roofs (roofs with slopes greater than or equal to 2:12. The solar reflectance requirements for each type is different. Could you please clarify at your earliest opportunity that the credit applies as well to steep sloped roofs?
