Is light colored roof or a dark colored roof more energy efficient?
Most believe that the only function of a roof covering is to provide a material to shed water, but of equal importance is its ability to provide thermal protection. In a house with a cathedral ceiling, the roof forms the ceilings of the rooms below. A dark colored shingle will affect the interior environment by absorbing solar heat from the sun during the day. This same roof, on a clear, cool night will transmit more heat from the house than would a light colored roof. A white or nearly white roof will reflect solar radiation during the day and will not radiate much heat at night. Unfortunately the roof has to stay relatively clean if it is to function properly.
Why do houses in Egypt have light coloured roof?
If it were a dark colour, it would attract too much heat.
Does the color of a roof affect the temperature inside the house?
Yes. Up to 20-40 degrees in the top part of your house. If its cold climate get dark to help melt snow on roof and white for hot climate to deflect the sun. or a grey type for in the middle. Then again alot of houses dont look good with white looking shingles. Get what looks good and try to go light or dark the most you can to save on them bills...

What are the differences between a warm roof and a cold roof, and which one is more suitable for my building?
A warm roof has insulation above the roof deck, keeping the structure warm, while a cold roof has insulation below the roof deck, allowing the roof to stay cold. The choice between a warm roof and a cold roof depends on factors like climate, building design, and budget. In general, a warm roof is more suitable for buildings in colder climates to prevent heat loss, while a cold roof may be more appropriate for buildings in warmer climates to prevent condensation issues. Consulting with a roofing professional can help determine the best option for your specific building.
What are the differences between a hot roof and a cold roof in terms of their insulation and energy efficiency?
A hot roof has insulation installed in the roof structure, while a cold roof has insulation installed in the ceiling below the roof. Hot roofs are more energy efficient as they prevent heat loss through the roof, while cold roofs can lead to energy loss due to heat escaping through the ceiling.
