Cool Roof |
| |
 Cool roofs reduce the roof surface temperature by up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, thereby reducing the heat transferred into the building below. This helps to reduce energy costs (by keeping attics and ducts cooler), improve occupant comfort, cut maintenance costs, increase the life cycle of the roof, and reduce urban heat islands along with associated smog.
Some benefits of Cool Roofs:
- Save on annual electricity bills by reducing summer air conditioning costs.
- Save peak electricity demand costs if you have time-of-use metering.
- Reduce roof maintenance and replacement expenses by extending roof life.
- Increase indoor comfort in summer by reflecting heat from the roof surface.
- Reduce the heat island effect in cities and suburbs.
- Reduce air pollution and smog formation.
- Reduce roofing waste added to landfills.
- Help builders and building managers meet California's Title 24 Energy Efficiency Building Standards.
