Emissivity is the term used to describe the ability of a material to radiate heat. Perfect radiators have an Emissivity (EM) of 1.0, while materials that radiate no heat have an EM of 0.
Most roof and ceiling materials (wood, steel, concrete, and painted surfaces) have high EM’s of about .9, radiating about 90% of the heat from their surfaces. Since radiant heat migrates from a warm surface to a cold surface, the heat load in ice rinks radiates from the ceiling to the ice surface.
We have installed low-emissivity coatings even in the new ice arena. For example, aluflex low-emissivity coating reduces the electromagnetic radiation directed at the ice surface, thus reducing the need to run refrigeration equipment.
