Save Energy: Roofing

Problem: High Energy Bills

Solution: Reflective Roofing

• Reflective metal roofing saves on energy costs because it is able to reflect solar energy back into the atmosphere reducing the amount of energy absorbed into your home
• ENERGY STAR qualified roof products can help reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce peak cooling demand by 10–15 percent

Problem: Ventilation

• The average family generates 2 to 4 gallons of water vapor a day. Poor ventilation means some of the vapor may build up in the attic resulting in mold, mildew, rot and poor ar quality
• Heat in unventilated attics can cause temperatures to exceed 150°F resulting in damage to shingles and roof sheathing

Solution: AirVent ShingleVent II, Lomanco OmniRoll, and Roof Saver Rolled Ridge Vent

• Helps prevent heat build up during warm summer months
• Helps prevent moisture build up during cold months
• Allows for uniform roof cooling during the winter helping to prevent ice dams
• Helps preserve roofing, insulation and building components by reducing the amount of damaging heat and moisture they are exposed to
