All -

In response to: 'Now when it comes to the urban heat island effect it
can
have a tremendously positive impact . . . but that is another issue.'

Recent addition of Energy Code (IECC2000) to Chicago Building Code was
supplemented with reflective roofing requirement.  Please let me know
if
other jurisdictions similarly target urban heat island effect through
their
Code.  Codes ordinarily do not address exterior surface optical
properties.
The purpose of the Chicago Code extends to 'promote public welfare' in
addition to the usual 'protect life / health / safety.'
