City Cool Roof

Have you ever seen a school bus with a white roof? In North Carolina, they tested the inside temperature of cool roof buses against regular buses and found a 17-degree difference during peak day light hours. 

Your cool roof will:

• Reduce roof temperatures-During a typical summer day, flat, black asphalt rooftops can reach temperatures up to 190°F which is 90° hotter than the surrounding air temperature!

• Reduce internal building temperatures-Cool rooftops can reduce internal building temperatures by up to 30%, making the building cooler and more comfortable during the hot summer months.

• Reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect-New York City can be up to five degrees hotter than surrounding areas due to greater amounts of dark surfaces, such as roofs and roads, and less shading from vegetation.

• Reduce carbon emissions-Every 2,500 square feet of roof that is coated can reduce the city's carbon footprint by 1 ton of CO2 and help fight climate change.

• Improve air quality-Cool roofs lower air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by reducing power demand.

• Extend the lifespan of rooftops and HVAC equipment-A Cool Roof coating better regulates a roof's temperature as compared to typical rooftop surfaces. By decreasing the roof temperature and cooling loads, the life of the rooftop and cooling equipment can be extended.
