Zone 9 sun
Encino is in climate zone 9 (California Energy Commission ZIP code table). The state asks a steep roof replaced beyond 50 percent to reach SRI 16, or 0.20 reflectance with 0.75 emittance, measured aged (California Energy Commission, 2022).
The City of Los Angeles has a cool roof rule of its own, and it starts when over half the roof is replaced (LADWP, 2022). We check the listing of any tile, shingle or metal before it is ordered.
