## Provisions PRIA read

- Cash rebates for household cool roofs: benefit, medium. If enacted, the Department of Energy would run a rebate program to help households buy and install eligible cool roof products. Your rebate would be your installed square feet times a per‑square‑foot rate. For low‑sloped roofs: $0.25/sq ft if 3‑year aged reflectance is at least 0.80 and emittance a…

Performance would use 3‑year aged values and follow ANSI and CRRC standards (including S100‑2025 and CRRC‑1). It would also fix the roof slope cutoff a…
