Cool Roof Technology

What Is A Cool Roof?

• A roof that reflects the sun’s heat and releases absorbed heat back into the atmosphere
• The roof surface temperature is usually only slightly higher than the air temperature.

Benefits of Cool Roofs Include:

• Increased occupant comfort, especially during hot summer months
• Reduced HVAC system use, resulting in energy savings
• Reduction in Heat Island Effect and smog
• Compliance with code and green building programs
• Peak energy savings and electrical grid stability
