JUNO BEACH, FL — Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), based here, released the results of a study that confirms the theory that the color of a roof can have a significant impact on energy costs.
The premise that “The whiter, and therefore, more reflective the roof, the lower the electric bill” was explored in a study conducted by FPL over a four-month period. The study “quantifies cooling performance on identical residences during realistic weather conditions,” said Craig Muccio, conservation program evaluation coordinator for FPL.
