Innovation in Shingles - Sloped roofs “Cool Roofs”
Cool roofs are unique shingles that slow heat build-up to make your home more energy efficient. There are two radiative properties to measure the “coolness” of the roof; Solar Reflectance and Thermal emittance. Solar Reflectance is the ability to reflect incoming solar energy back into the sky and Thermal Emittance is the amount of absorbed heat that is radiated from a roof. The higher the rating on both of these properties, the cooler the roof.

 

The Benefits of Cool Roofs:

  • They reduce the roof surface temperature, thereby reducing the heat transferred in the home below. Cool roofs stay 50-60 degrees cooler than a conventional roof on a hot summer day.
  • Lower energy cost-Can save 10-20% on your air-conditioning costs.
  • Enhances the life expectancy of both the roof membrane and the homes HVAC equipment.
  • Improves thermal efficiency of the roof insulation; this is because as temperature increases, the thermal conductivity of the roof’s insulation also increases.
  • Reduces the Urban Heat Island Effect- This occurs when city temperatures run higher than those in suburban and rural areas. Cool roofing can mitigate this effect and reduce surrounding air temperature.
  • Improves air quality since less smog is formed.
  • Air pollution associated with burning fossil fuels at utility plants is reduced because of less peak load demand.
  • Reduce roofing waste added to landfills-Cool metal roofs are 100% recyclable and have 30% recycled material content.
  • Most “Cool” roofs meet Energy Star and the Cool Roof Rating Council requirements and may qualify for LEED, NAHD and other GREEN programs.
  • Some utility companies offer rebates if a Cool roof is installed (please check with your utility company to see which Cool roof products are eligible).
  • Federal tax credits available (see list of Cool roofs that apply).
  • Family and friends will be more comfortable!
