Americans spend about $40 billion annually to air condition buildings - sixth of all electricity generated in this country.

ENERGY STAR qualified roof products reflect more of the sun's rays. This can lower roof surface temperature by up to 100F, decreasing the amount of heat transferred into a building.
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.
During building design and when your existing roof needs replacement are both excellent times to consider reflective roofing. See how much reflective roofing can reduce your building's energy costs

Cool Zone Roofing System

In the commercial roofing industry, reflectivity and cool roofing has been the dominant discussion point for several years, and the Duro-Last® Cool Zone® roofing system has set the standard for single-ply roof reflectivity and the resulting energy savings. Now, terms like sustainability, cool roofs, and cool roofing are receiving a lot of attention, and once again, Duro-Last is setting the bar.

But what does sustainability and cool roofing really mean for building owners, facility managers, contractors, architects, and other specifiers? It means that the design, construction, maintenance, life-cycle impact, adaptive re-use, destruction, and recycling of roofing components must help meet the long-term environmental standards demanded by today’s high-performance buildings.

To be considered “sustainable,” a roofing system must meet the Five E’s of high-performance roofing: Energy, Environment, Endurance, Economics, and Engineering. In each of these areas, the Duro-Last Cool Zone roofing system leads the commercial roofing industry. Click on the Five E's link above to learn more about the Five E’s and how the Duro-Last Cool Zone roofing system delivers on the multiple demands of high-performance roofing.

*Cool Shingles

Saving energy has never looked – or felt – better. Utilizing a new, highly reflective granule technology that bounces back the sun's rays, Duration® Premium Cool shingles with SureNail® Technology help keep roofs cooler, resulting in a more comfortable living space below. Cool roofs result in lower carbon dioxide emissions and help reduce the urban and suburban heat island effect, which, in turn, reduces smog. These energy efficient shingles are designed for long-lasting performance, with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, a 130 MPH Wind Resistance Limited Warranty and 10 Year Algae Resistant warranty.

Owens Corning Duration® Premium Cool shingles meet initial solar reflectance of .25 for ENERGY STAR® requirements. The colors Frosted Oak, Harbor Fog and Sunrise meet the ENERGY STAR® ratings for the American Reinvestment Recovery Act of 2009. They also meet 2009 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards, Title 24, Part 6 requirements, which call for a Cool Roof or equivalent improvement. Duration® Premium Cool shingles are also rated and listed by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRCC) for solar reflection.

A customer with a $200 bill or higher will most likely see a cost savings the very first month with a financed system and that savings will only grow over time as utility rates increase.

* For a very high bill, it is likely that a solar system will offset all of the high tiers and have the highest rate of return.
