Energy Star Products And Your
Existing Roof
It may surprise you to learn that 90% of the roofs in California reach summer peak temperatures
of 150° to 190°. These excessive roof temperatures contribute to many problems.
Energy Star Questions
Will installing an Energy Star compliant roof product save me money no matter where I live?
Homes and buildings located in our hot and sunny climate will realize the greatest energy and cost savings.
So, people living in our geographic area that use more air conditioning will see greater reductions in their energy bills
than people living elsewhere in the country.
Will I save money by using reflective roof products if
my home or building already has a high level of insulation?
An energy-efficient building has both
reflective roof surfaces and adequate insulation. You will notice greater savings on your cooling bills if you install Energy
Star labeled roof products.
For more information
on how to determine the optimum savings, consult Gary Harvey, Energy Star Consultant at Wedge Roofing.
Can
I expect the same level of savings over the entire lifetime of my roof?
Due to normal wear and tear,
some degradation of roof reflectivity can be expected, within the first few years after installation. However, this degradation
can be minimized or eliminated with a simple roof maintenance program.
Implementing a maintenance program minimizes degradation
and maximizes energy savings.
