Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has released a study titled: “Economic Comparison of White, Green, and Black Flat Roofs in the United States.”

The EPDM Roofing Association is challenging this study. To help provide clarity regarding roofing system choice, and to refute some of the more egregious errors in the study, ERA convened a panel of experts to review the LBNL science and its conclusions. A summary of these findings follows; a complete analysis can be found on the ERA website at: www.epdmroofs.org
