Efficiency roofs are today’s trend. Cool roofs are very energy efficient in order to save the home owner and offer more economical choices to make your home more energy efficient.
When considering a home remodeling project, consider replacing your roof with a cool roof.
Most home owners are interested in lowering their energy consumption and utility bills therefore, consider a cool roof installation which is looked at as a green home remodeling solution.
Cool roofs help both homes and commercial buildings maintain a lower constant temperature. In the summertime when temperatures rise, the cool roof can reduce energy usage as much as 20 percent. Cool roofs work by using reflective materials, similar to solar materials. A cool roof material will actually reduce the solar energy absorbed through the cool roof.
Cool roofs absorb the energy emitted by the roof and traditional roofs absorb the heat causing cooling systems to work harder verses reflecting the heat from a cool roof.
Cool roofs or a green roof solution does not use materials that are black in color. As you are aware, the color black on objects you use every-day like cars, clothing etc., absorb the suns radiant heat more intense than lighter colors like white for example. This is why some roof shingles and roofing materials have highly reflective granules on them in order to increase the reflectivity. When you install and or design your cool roof, talk to your cool roof contractor. The angle of your home’s roof mat dramatically affects your home roofs reflective abilities.
