Roofstops of buildings get hot primarily due to solar radiation. The sun's rays hit the roof surface, which absorbs heat, especially if the roofing material is dark or has a low reflectivity. Additionally, heat generated from the building itself, along with reduced airflow around the roof, can further elevate temperatures. This phenomenon can lead to higher energy costs for cooling and increased wear on roofing materials.
