Energy-Saving Roofing
If you’re experiencing a surge in utility costs, your roofing system could be the culprit. This is because many commonly used commercial roofing materials, such as asphalt, metal, EPDM, and modified bitumen, absorb a significant amount of the sun’s UV rays as heat. As a result, rooftop temperatures can rise as much as 90°F higher than the ambient temperature. This heat is then transferred to the interior of your building, causing an increase in indoor temperatures. Consequently, your HVAC equipment is forced to work harder and for longer periods to maintain a comfortable working environment, leading to higher energy expenses.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), approximately 40% of energy costs in commercial buildings are attributed to HVAC equipment. Therefore, if you want to reduce energy costs, the most effective starting point is investing in an Energy-Saving Roofing solution.
Your Current Roofing System Can Be Cool
Lester’s Carpentry, located in Pennsylvania, is a certified contractor for Conklin Commercial Roofing Systems. Our expertise lies in the installation and maintenance of energy-saving roofing systems for agricultural, industrial, and commercial buildings. We specialize in Conklin’s industrial-strength white reflective “Cool Roof” coatings, which boast exceptional reflectivity and have earned ratings from both the EnergyStar Program and the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC).
These coatings have the ability to transform a variety of existing flat or low-slope commercial roofing systems, including BUR, CSPE, EPDM, Mod-Bit, TPO, PVC, concrete, wood, and metal, into seamless, leak-free, waterproof, and energy-efficient “cool roofs” without the need for a costly roof replacement.
High Solar Reflectivity Reduces Heat Transfer
Similar to how prolonged sun exposure without sunscreen can harm the skin, roofs without cool roof coatings can lead to damage to the roof membrane. Exposure to UV radiation can cause thermal movement, resulting in the breakdown of roofing materials due to the repeated expansion and contraction caused by temperature fluctuations. To mitigate these issues, Conklin offers a range of energy-saving roofing coatings, including Benchmark®, Flexion® XL, PUMA® XL, Rapid Roof III®, and Rapid Roof® HV.
These coatings excel in reflecting up to 89% of UV radiation, surpassing many other reflective materials. By reducing thermal stress, they effectively prolong the lifespan of roofing materials, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Cool Roof Coatings Keep Your Building Cooler Inside and Out
When rooftops absorb solar energy and convert it into heat, it not only raises the temperature inside buildings but also contributes to the heat island effect, where the surrounding exterior areas become hotter. Conklin’s energy-saving roofing coatings effectively mitigate this phenomenon, ensuring cooler temperatures both inside and outside your commercial building. Just how much cooler? The exceptional solar reflectivity of our energy-saving cool roof coatings can reduce roof surface temperatures by up to 80°F, resulting in significant reductions in indoor temperatures.
A demonstration conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center using Conklin’s Benchmark® coating revealed that retail shops with our energy-saving roofing coating experienced an average 25% decrease in cooling energy usage. By creating cooler interior spaces, these coatings not only contribute to a comfortable and healthier working environment but also generate cost savings.
Reducing Energy Consumption Lowers Utility Costs
By opting for our elastomeric energy-saving roofing system, business owners can anticipate a significant reduction in cooling costs, particularly during the summer when HVAC systems are under maximum strain. This is made possible by the system’s high solar reflectivity and thermal emittance, which can lower cooling expenses by up to 30%. Additionally, our single-ply membrane roofing and spray polyurethane foam (SPF) solutions feature insulation layers that effectively decrease winter heating costs, providing year-round energy savings.
The cost-effectiveness of our energy-saving roofing is exemplified by the experiences of many satisfied customers who found that the savings generated by the system covered the investment within the warranty period. Furthermore, businesses may be eligible for tax credits, utility rebates, and various financial incentives that further offset the initial investment, making the energy-saving roofing solution even more economically advantageous.
