A cool roof can cut down your interior cooling costs by more than 25%. In addition, a cool roof is 30% less expensive and 30% more durable when compared to conventional roofing systems. The biggest direct benefit of reducing your energy consumption, of course, is a reduction in your energy bills.

A cool roof system is an ideal choice for hot summer months since it is designed to reflect 80% of the sun’s rays. Which means it absorbs much less heat when compared to a standard roof. It is important to note that since most roofing systems tend to have darker shades, their ability to absorb heat is much higher.
In fact, during hot summer months, roofing systems with a darker shade can easily reach temperatures upwards of 150°F. In contrast, a cool roof can remain 50°F cooler which means it can deliver significant savings in your energy consumption and lower energy bills.
Cool roofs are a popular choice among businesses and homeowners because they deliver a number of benefits.
Cool roofs are made with reflective material that effectively blocks the sun’s heat. A cool roof’s heat absorption rate is much lower. As a result, your interior cooling costs can go down by more than 25%. A cool roof can also effectively help reduce the interior temperature even in spaces within your building that are not serviced by a cooling system such as patios and garages.
A cool roof is 30% more durable than conventional roofing systems. In fact, because cool roofs reflect much of the sun’s heat and don’t heat up as much as conventional roofing systems extending the service life of your roof.
In addition to ensuring low energy consumption and reducing power bills, a cool roof is also beneficial to the environment. This is clearly evident in community spaces where multiple buildings have cool roofs.

This type of roof can last “up to 30% longer than conventional commercial roofs
Did you know that a standard roof can reflect around 10% of sunlight while a cool roof can reflect more than 80% of the sun's rays?
Although all roofing systems can reflect a portion of solar energy, in roofs with darker shades, the portion of solar energy that is absorbed by the roof is much higher. In contrast, cool roofs are designed to reflect a much higher percentage of the sun’s rays.
Conventional dark-colored roofing materials not only absorb much of the sun’s energy, but they also absorb and are able to retain much of the heat generated by the sun. However, since cool roofs are designed with reflective material, they can reflect nearly two-thirds of this heat which helps them stay cooler and transmit a much smaller amount of heat into a building. The materials used in a cool roof are designed to deliver high “solar reflectance” (the ability of a material to reflect sun’s energy leading to lower heat absorption rate) and a high thermal emittance (ability to radiate thermal heat back). It is these twin properties of a cool roof that enable it to absorb much lower amounts of heat and help in keeping the roof much cooler even during hot summer months.
If your building has a cool roof system, your dependency on air conditioning to regulate and maintain the interior temperatures at comfortable levels will be much lower. As a result, your energy consumption and power bills will be lower too.
NO! Installing a cool roof does not mean you will have to spend more than what you would on a conventional roofing solution. This is especially true for new cool roof installations or replacements.
The majority of your costs for installing or replacing a cool roof will include the installation, which includes the labor and materials cost, and the maintenance cost. However, because a cool roof can deliver a number of cost benefits such as savings in your energy bills, reduced dependency on your cooling systems, rebates/incentives, and longer service life of your roofing system, your installation and maintenance costs will be easily absorbed both in the short and long term.
If you are considering installing a cool roof, it is important to carefully evaluate your costs and savings based on factors such as:

Almost half of all sunlight arrives as invisible near-infrared radiation you can feel but not see. When solar energy hits a roof much of it reflects back into the sky. However, some of that energy/radiation is absorbed as heat in the roof. A cool roof is designed to reflect more of this energy and assimilate less heat than that of traditional roofing. It blocks heat from being absorbed and keeps the building cool, cutting the interior cooling costs by 25% or more!
We bring revolutionary cool roof technology to commercial and residential buildings that last longer cost less and insulate way more effectively than any conventional roof. Per energy.gov, “Nearly any type of building can benefit from a cool roof.”
If you’re planning for new construction or retrofitting an existing roof system, it may be the perfect time to consider a cool roof as an option for your building. Even if your roof is not in poor condition or near the end of its life, conversion to a cool roof solution could prove beneficial for you, your building, and the environment.
