I am working with high-res, multispectral band imagery (with R,G,B, Near IR bands). I want to be able to find the surface reflectivity of just roofs, specifically contained within the rooftop outline shapefile I have.

I am not exactly sure which tools I need to contain the imagery pixels (in .tiff format) within the shapefile, and how to represent an average pixel (reflectance) value for the rooftop itself.

Can anyone offer me some advice, or a place to start!
Thanks

Have a look at the Zonal Statistics as Table tool in Spatial Analyst.  Your roofs shapefile would be the zones.  The tool inputs single band rasters, so you'll have to run it on each band seperately, then collate the results into a single table via joins.
