“Cool roofing is the fastest growing sector of the building industry, as building owners and facility managers realize the immediate and long-term benefits of roofs that stay cool in the sun. Studies exploring the energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of cool roofs show that in warm or hot climates, substituting a cool roof for a conventional roof can:
• Reduce by up to 25% the annual air-conditioning energy use of a single-story building, with an average of approximately 20% lower consumption. • Reduces America’s petroleum dependency, by not replacing tar-based roofing.
• Reduce carbon emissions by lowering the need for fossil-fuel-generated electricity to run air-conditioners.
• Increases power grid stability during peak consumption time, by decreasing power necessities. Lowers brownouts and Blackouts.
• Reflect solar light and energy back into the atmosphere. • Cools interior spaces in buildings that do not have air-conditioning, making sheltered work environments more manageable for the labor force.
