Hi everyone, I am trying to use different roof assembly and find how they perform depending on this for a particular climate. Could someone direct me to any resources that specifically focus on material properties like the conductivity or even ASHRAE based values and how to implement those in to the assembly. This would be ultimately used to find the effect on surface temperature (outer boundary). I'd really appreciate some help! Thank you.

You can try this link which stats the Thermal Conductivity of common Materials and Gases.

Better option would be to use OpenStudio to import constructions from the Building Component Library then you can export it to IDF in order to import it into E+.

Accessing the Building Component Library requires registration; Follow the OS installation instructions to do that.
