This is a good idea, but I'd like to keep the roof from getting wet at all if I could help it.

The house has already been built and finished.

This is what I was thinking of doing, I'd build the new roof about 6" above the old one, that way air could get in between the layers and keep the actual roof cool.

Common sense dictates it should be a lot cooler, but I think I'd go with 8" instead of 6" and make sure they run parallel to the wind direction.
