solar reflectance index
Solar reflectance index (SRI) is a numerical value that quantifies how effectively a surface reflects solar heat. It takes into account factors such as solar reflectance and thermal emissivity to provide a comprehensive measure of a material's ability to stay cooler under sunlight, thus helping to reduce the urban heat island effect and decrease energy consumption for cooling buildings.
