This roof is an investment that pays for itself in more ways than one.

-Ruduce cooling costs by up to 30%

-Reflects the sun's heat by 85%

-less expansion and contraction lowering the amount of repairs

-Federal tax rebates, tax credits and deductions.

-working with an insurance company could cover the entire cost of the roof with no money out of pocket, leaving 10% of the overhead.

-Traditional replacement could cost MILLIONS compared to 1/3 of our price with the same life span of a new roof.

-Traditional replacement can't shut down your business causing hazardous materials to fall into the building.

-No shut down time.

-No landfill cost

• Using Cool Roofs to Reduce Heat Islands
  This US EPA document discusses voluntary programs for cool roofs, which are offered by organizations and agencies at the international, national, and state levels. It also mentions the U.S. Green Building Council's (LEED) Site Sustainability - Heat Island Reduction program as an example.
   

• Guide to Cool Roofs
  This energy.gov document explains that a roof's "coolness" is determined by two properties: solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Both properties are measured on a scale of 0 to 1, and higher values indicate a cooler roof.
   

• Cool Roofs – A Measure of Sustainability
  This document from orf.od.nih.gov explains how cool roofs, also known as reflective roofs, can be a cost-effective way to save energy and meet sustainability goals for a building.
   

• Cool Roofs | ENERGY STAR
  This document from ENERGY STAR discusses the criteria for a cool roof, which should have both high solar reflectance and high thermal emittance.
   

• Cool Roofs | Department of Energy
  This document from the Department of Energy explains the principle behind cool roofs, which reflect more sunlight than conventional roofs and absorb less solar energy.
   

• Cool Colored Materials for Roofs
  This document from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy discusses the need for cool nonwhite materials for all types of roofing. It also mentions industry researchers who have developed inorganic color pigments that are dark in color but highly reflective in the infrared portion of the solar spectrum.
   

• Fact Sheet | Cool Roofs | White Papers | EESI
  This document from EESI discusses how cool roofs can help mitigate climate change by reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned to generate energy for air conditioning. It also mentions that a white roof of 1,000 square feet can offset 10 tons of carbon dioxide over its 20 year lifetime.
