Architects have seemingly endless choices when it comes to façades for commercial buildings and homes. Not only are there many materials available with varying colors and textures, but there are also a number of environmental and functional properties to consider as well. Today, Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) are a popular highly effective way to insulate a building to achieve significant energy savings. Most EIF System manufactures specify the selection of a finishing coat with a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of at least 20. The use of dark colors should be avoided in order to prevent damage to the polystyrene insulation boards. In this paper, we will demonstrate that it is possible to formulate dark colors by using specially developed solar-reflective colorants with inherently good Total Solar Reflective properties in order to reduce EIF system heat build-up.
