Cool Roofing

A "Cool Roof" is a roofing system designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof. This helps to reduce the amount of heat transferred to the building below, thereby lowering indoor temperatures and decreasing the need for air conditioning. Cool roofs are typically characterized by their high solar reflectance (ability to reflect sunlight) and thermal emittance (ability to release absorbed heat).

O'Hagin attic ventilation systems are designed to blend into surrounding roofing material. (ASV) Increases airflow and can increase energy savings in cool roof systems. passive, reducing energy costs related to heating and cooling.

Benefits of Foam Roofing

Reflectivity: Cool roofs are typically made with materials that have high solar reflectance, such as white or light-colored coatings, tiles, shingles, or membranes. These materials reflect a larger portion of sunlight away from the building, reducing heat absorption.
Thermal Emittance: In addition to reflecting sunlight, cool roofs also have high thermal emittance, which allows them to release absorbed heat efficiently. This helps to keep the roof surface cooler and reduces the transfer of heat into the building.
Energy Efficiency: By reducing heat absorption and lowering indoor temperatures, cool roofs can significantly decrease the need for air conditioning during hot weather. This can lead to lower energy bills and improved energy efficiency in buildings.
Comfort: Cool roofs help to create more comfortable indoor environments by reducing the temperature of the building's interior spaces. This can improve occupant comfort and productivity, especially in areas with hot climates or during summer months.
Environmental Benefits: Cool roofs can help mitigate the urban heat island effect, where cities experience higher temperatures due to the absorption and retention of heat by buildings and pavement. By reflecting more sunlight and reducing heat buildup, cool roofs contribute to a cooler and more sustainable urban environment.
Regulatory Compliance: In some regions, cool roofs are mandated by building codes or energy efficiency standards as part of efforts to reduce energy consumption and combat climate change. Installing a cool roof can help building owners comply with these regulations.
Extended Roof Lifespan: The reduced thermal stress on cool roofs can help extend the lifespan of roofing materials by minimizing the expansion and contraction that occurs with temperature fluctuations. This can result in lower maintenance costs and longer-lasting roofs.
