2022年6月2日 · The introduction of cool metal roofing products opened the door for the use of more sustainable building materials in projects. Discover what cool metal roofing is, how it saves on energy consumption, and how it relates to SRI and emissivity.

Cool Metal roofing utilizes reflective pigments to reflect the sun's energy away the roof. Cool roofs help reduce energy consumption and also reduce urban heat island effects. Standard industry criteria for cool roofs are:

Learn how switching to a cool roof can save you money and benefit the environment. A cool roof can benefit a building and its occupants by: Cool roofs can also incur a winter heating penalty. That is, absorbing less sunlight at the roof reduces heat conduction into the building, increasing the need for mechanical heating in winter.

Some common cool roof materials include membranes, shingles, coatings, stone/rock, metal, and tile with high solar reflectance. Other cool roof strategies include ballasted roofing and green roofs. Learn more about roof types and product types from the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). https://coolroofs.org/resources/home-and-building-owners.

Improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of your next building project by choosing a cool metal roof. MBCI’s cool metal roofing absorbs less of the sun’s light and lowers the heat that is retained by the steel roof panels.

2024年9月9日 · Cool metal roofing is a roofing system that has greater solar reflectance. These reflective roofs ensure lower heat even on hot days than conventional roofs. Their coating helps them reflect sunlight and dissipate heat. Cool metal roofs can save total cooling costs and energy savings about 7 to 15%.

2024年12月19日 · Cool metal roofs feature paints and coatings with specially formulated pigments that reflect the heat from the sun. Heat from the sun is created by near infrared radiation (NIR) which is invisible to the eye.

2021年4月14日 · A cool metal roof is a roofing system that delivers higher solar reflectance. Compared to asphalt shingles, the temperature of a cool roof stays lower on very hot days than a conventional roof. This reduces the need for air conditioning which also lowers the electric bill.

2024年3月28日 · Metal roofing utilizing cool chemistry technology coatings that reflect UV light keeps your building cooler in hot, sunny conditions. More heat energy is reflected and less is allowed to penetrate and warm the air beneath.
