Reducing Cooling Costs with Reflective Roof Coatings: A Shimmering Solution
Is it Hot in Here, Or is it Just Your Roof?
If you’re feeling the heat (in your wallet) due to high cooling costs, don’t just blame the Ohio sun. Your commercial building’s roof might be the real culprit. Dark-colored roofs absorb sunlight, turning your building into a brick oven and forcing your AC unit to work overtime. The sky-high utility bills are enough to make anyone sweat! But, can the solution really be as simple as swapping to a reflective roof coating?
Here at Pro Trade Services, we’ve embarked on many a commercial roofing project and have seen first-hand the difference a reflective coating can make. Derived mainly from white or light-colored acrylic, silicone, urethane, or elastomeric substances, these coatings have a phenomenal ability to reflect sunlight, thereby reducing heat absorption.
Don’t just take our word for it — the numbers speak volumes. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), reflective roof coatings can reduce a roof’s surface temperature by up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Let’s breeze through that one more time; a prospect of possibly reducing your energy bills by opting for a reflective roof coating!
Coat, Reflect, Repeat: The Low-Down on Reflective Roof Coatings
Now that we’ve got your attention, let’s break down the nitty-gritty of reflective roof coatings, or as some like to call them, ‘cool roofs’. While traditional dark roofs can reach astonishing temperatures of up to 150 degrees in summer, reflective roof coatings can reduce this heat gain, keeping things notably cooler down below where it counts.
It’s not just the immediate cooling benefits either. Just as important is the longevity these coatings can give to your roof. Heat is one of the leading causes of roof deterioration, as it causes thermal shock — contraction and expansion due to temperature changes. A reflective roof coating mitigates this, so your roof loves you for longer.
Reflective roof coatings also contribute positively to the environment. Reduced power consumption means less strain on power plants which could result in lowered greenhouse gas emissions. Also, according to the Heat Island Group, a cool roof can even compensate for the carbon dioxide produced over its lifetime.
