Does anyone know where to find the values of solar, thermal, and visible absorptance of building materials?

I am trying to run a simulation of local residential buildings. Most building's material properties are found in ASHRAE. Can you let me know where to find solar absorptance, thermal absorptance and visible absorptance for different materials used in building construction such as walls, roof, windows , etc...?
