ENERGY STAR (DOE) qualified roof coating products reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce energy bills by up to 50%. The Cool Roof Program defines certain standards for solar reflectance, 3-year aged maintenance of reflectivity, and emmisivity in roof coating systems. Reflectivity is the percentage of the sun’s heat a roof keeps off a building, and emissivity is the percentage of heat a roof lets out of a building.
Lighter colored (white) roof coatings reflect the suns heat and UV rays and often lower the temperature of the roof by up to 100° degrees F.
During warmer summer months, temperatures can reach 170° degrees F on a low-slope black asphalt roof, and they can drop to -20° degrees F during the winter in northern and higher elevated regions. Much of the heat generated by absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation transfers to the building interior, and can have significant adverse effects on energy consumption.
Customers with air conditioned buildings typically find their energy bills drop by 30% to 60% during months that require cooling. Halligan Foam-Coating customers without air conditioning report 10° to 20°F cooler indoor temperatures on hot summer days.
The top layer of the Halligan Foam-Coating System is a Energy Efficient Foam Roof coating. This material very effectively reflects the sun's energy from the roof surface. White is the most common color, but tan and light gray colors are often used in hill areas where roof surfaces are more visible from neighboring properties. Our Energy Efficient Foam Roofs also have high emissivity, allowing them to emit infrared energy.
