WHEREAS, The City of Miami is committed to reducing elevated temperatures and associated air-quality issues stemming from urban heat island effects; and WHEREAS, during the past eight (8) years, the City of Miami ("City") has launched a comprehensive and aggressive environmental program to clean streets, waterways, brownfields, storm drains, and to improve air and water quality; and WHEREAS, the City Commission has adopted the recommendations of MiPlan, the City of Miami Climate Action Plan, which promotes various methods to achieve reduction in energy consumption which is adversely affected by elevated temperatures in the urban -core; and WHEREAS, elevated temperatures from heat island effects in urban areas result in increased energy consumption for cooling; increased greenhouse gas emission associated with building and vehicle usage; and deterioration in air quality; and WHEREAS, hardscape management methods, such as tree planting, shading, and use of reflective paving materials, will contribute to decreasing the urban heat island effect, which can reduce the energy consumption of City buildings; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI: Section 1. The recitals and findings in the Preamble to this ordinance are adopted by reference and incorporated as if fully set forth in this Section. Section 2.

Solar reflectance is the fraction of solar energy reflected by a material. Pervious Pavement System is a porous surface system with a stabilized base that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site, allowing groundwater recharge, and naturally cooling the surface through evaporation of water from pavement voids or from beneath. 952.3 Applicability The provisions of this ordinance are applicable to newly constructed building and to replacement of greater than 50% of site hardscape after the effective date of this ordinance and located in the City of Miami. All replacement of existing hardscape shall be reviewed by the Zoning Department for compliance with this ordinance. 952.3 Solar reflectance Solar reflectance shall be determined as follows: (a) For roofing materials, all roof exterior surfaces and building materials used to comply with Section 952.4 shall have a minimum solar reflectance as specified in Sections 952.4 when (i) tested in accordance with ASTM E903 or ASTM E1918, (ii) tested with a portable reflectometer at near ambient conditions, (iii) labeled by the Cool Roof Rating Council, or (iv) labeled as an Energy Star qualified roof product. Any product that has been rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council or by Energy Star shall display a label verifying the rating of, the product.
