Written by Dr. W. Lee Shoemaker, P.E., Ph.D., of the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA), this article on the MBMA website reminds readers that cool roofing is but one aspect of energy code compliance.

The article points out that the most critical codes as far as metal buildings are concerned are those dealing with envelope performance, and talks about the various ways building envelopes are evaluated to show compliance.
