Green Roofing

Energy Star Roofing

Americans spend about $40 billion annually to air condition buildings – sixth of all electricity generated in this country.

ENERGY STAR certified roof products reflect more of the sun’s rays. This can lower roof surface temperature by up to 50F, decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building.

ENERGY STAR certified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10-15 percent.

Although there are inherent benefits in the use of reflective roofing, before selecting a roofing product based on expected energy savings consumers should explore the expected calculated results that can be found on the Department of Energy’s Cool Roof Calculator. Please remember the energy savings that can be achieved with reflective roofing is highly dependent on facility design, insulation used, climatic conditions, building location, and building envelope efficiency.

All of the major roofing brands we use have energy efficient products that can provide your home with a beautiful style, energy savings, and tax credits.

The Landmark Solaris® Platinum solar reflective shingles represent an industry breakthrough in technology achieving a level of 40% solar reflectivity, by far the highest level of reflectivity in the asphalt shingle industry.

GAF

GAF offers the Timberline® HD Shingles for potential energy savings and tax credits.

The Cool Series roofing shingles have modern reflective technology that helps reduced temperatures in house attics, so homes stay cooler in the summer and save on air conditioning costs.

The Cool Series shingles use specially-designed roofing granules that have greater reflectance than traditional shingles. Transfer of heat is minimized to the space below – keeping your home cooler in the summer.
