Roof Restoration
Did you know that about half of the energy usage in your building correlates with your HVAC system?
As we approach this hot summer season, you may be thinking about servicing or replacing your rooftop-mounted HVAC units, but you shouldn’t have to replace your entire roof, as well! Let’s face it, just replacing the existing HVAC units is a major undertaking! Add to that the undeniable roof repairs that will follow, and it can quickly become a very costly, nightmare scenario!
One of the best ways to remain cost-effective with your HVAC units (and by proxy, your roof system) is by selecting a cool roof restoration! When roofs have no coating, they can spike up to 150+ degrees Fahrenheit in the summer! That heat then transfers (radiates) into your building - both through the roof, and from the air intake at the HVAC unit. Each HVAC unit uses a great deal of energy to cool that hot 150+ degree air to a more comfortable (70-72 degrees) inside temperature! A cool, white reflective coating stays within 10 degrees of the outside ambient air temperature…this translates into significant energy savings - especially when considering multiple HVAC units, and how hard theymay have to work!
Did you know that by restoring and maintaining your roofs with white reflective coatings, you may be able to cut your peak energy expenditures by as much as 50%?
It’s true! Over more than a decade, several studies, both experimental and numerical, have shown that COOL ROOFS can reduce air-conditioning energy use (ACEU) by up to 50% depending on the location, climate, building type, and thermal integrity of the building envelope. In addition, COOL ROOF credits are offered in sustainable building programs such as the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) - Credit: www.energy.gov
