Analysis; PS) Climate conditions within a small area that differ from those in the surrounding area, Include ventilation, frost lines, and solar radiation. or Site specific modification of macroclimate. Macroclimate Large-scale patterns in climate; the climate of an entire region. Albedo (or Solar Reflectance (SR)) The fraction of solar radiation that is reflected off the surface of an object. Usually expressed as a scale from 0 to 1.0, where a surface that absorbs all energy (flat black) is 0, and a mirror would be 1. Reflectivity LEED uses this to measure the solar heat rejection of non roof materials like vegetation, shading devices, etc. Closely related to albedo. Also on a scale from 0 to 1.0 Emissivity Ability of a surface to emit stored energy. Also a scale from zero to 1.0. For opaque surfaces, emissivity and albedo add up to 1.0 Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) Measure of a roof's ability to reject solar heat, defined so that a standard black surface has an SRI of zero, and a standard white surface has and SRI of 100 Soil (3 considerations) (Env. & Context.
