Lancium Clean Campus

Roof lifecycle — General Roof 6 · CENTRAL_CORE

434 calibrated Sentinel-2 acquisitions over 2.3 years and 185 Landsat overpasses, shown as observed. The engine's change-point detector dates the apparent intervention; phase bands on the chart use its dates.

Lifecycle phases

Modeled

The engine's change-point is this roof's membrane completion (construction). Before / transition / after boundaries use its dates; plateau values are descriptive medians of observed rows inside each phase. The FRESH → CURRENT (degradation) split needs the engine's post-completion degradation model and stays pending.

Normalized trajectory. Sun-geometry / BRDF-normalized albedo trajectory is an engine output (spectral_normalize, lifecycle-aware peer group). Not yet persisted for this roof.

Change-points. Engine change-point (blind PELT on the seasonal-controlled series): step up of 0.288 albedo, transition 2025-01-23 → 2025-01-31, 74 of 434 acquisitions confirming on sentinel-2a, sentinel-2b, sentinel-2c. The step coincides with the land-state classifier's membrane-completion date: construction, not an intervention.

Future modeled interventions

ModeledCampus-wide

The same list applies to every roof on this campus until roof-specific engine runs exist. Each becomes a scenario in the Simulator when its engine counterfactual exists; each is compared on capex, energy, peak kW, IT capacity, compute value, carbon, water and lifecycle.

InterventionStatusNeeds
Hose wash (clean roof)
Engine per-roof counterfactual: restore to peer median / historical best / manufacturer prior at age.
ModeledRun in Simulator
Pressure wash
Higher-cost cleaning tier; same physical chain as hose wash.
Pendingengine counterfactual
Reflective coating
Restore to a manufacturer-stated initial reflectance; embodied carbon pending environmental factors.
Pendingengine counterfactual
Targeted insulation replacement
Replace wet or degraded insulation where a moisture survey shows it; R-value recovery drives the thermal term.
Pendingmoisture survey; core cuts; roof assembly R-value (owner)
Recover with added insulation
New membrane over the existing assembly with added polyiso; compares capex, operational and embodied impact over service life.
Pendingroof assembly (owner); engine lifecycle counterfactual; embodied-carbon factors
Full reroof
Tear-off and replacement; the highest capex and embodied-carbon option, longest service-life reset.

What would resolve the roof hypothesis

Campus-wide
  • Owner data neededRoof assembly and install date. Replaces the manufacturer-prior age curve with the actual product and age.
  • Owner data neededWash / coating records. Dates any past cleaning so the persistence statistics can exclude it.
  • Owner data neededBAS trends. Converts the modeled cooling response to roof reflectance into an observed one.
Owner data roadmap

Reading this page

  • Calibrated broadband albedo (Sentinel-2 L2A, Bonafoni & Sekertekin 2020, calibration v2). Not a CRRC solar reflectance; compare the roof with its own history, not with product data sheets.
  • A sun-geometry seasonal cycle is present and not removed — the engine's normalized trajectory is pending. Compare like seasons, or the quarterly medians across years.
  • Landsat surface temperature: every roof here is smaller than one native 100 m thermal pixel; use same-acquisition differences, not absolute values.
  • Quarterly medians and before/after comparisons are descriptive summaries of observed rows, not a change-point model.
