Los Angeles set new records on November 17-18, 2019, with 92-degree days, breaking the 91 recorded in 2008. The average high for late November is about 69 degrees! In fact, the City of Angels has warmed about two degrees since the 1940s.
It is sunny most of the year in Southern California with many months in the 90's and above 100 degrees. A conventional dark roof absorbs heat from the sun and transmits it inside a building where temperatures can reach 190F.
If your building has a traditional dark roof, it is attracting a lot of heat. That means the air conditioning has to be cranked up to provide comfort. You end up spending more money than you expect, especially when electric companies charge a penalty for exceeding demand during peak times. In fact, it can go as high as 70% of your total electricity bill. Transforming your commercial roofing in Los Angeles makes sense to save money and energy.
As a commercial property owner, you should consider getting a reflective roofing solution like a cool roof Los Angeles commercial owners can decrease the temperatures on their rooftop as low as 60 F by reflecting solar energy. This will put less stress on your systems and bring the interior temperature to a more comfortable level. Did you know many of the dark-colored roofs can boost the temperature of a building up to 190 F? These high temperatures lead to higher utility bills and accelerates maintenance on the roof.
With a Cool Roof Los Angeles building owners can save money in the long run, not only by reducing the usage of air conditioning but also extending the lifespan of your roof. These types of roofs are more resistant to the impact of extreme heat reducing maintenance requirements. It can make your commercial building more energy-efficient resulting in up to 30% in energy savings. With the summer and fall seasons continuing to warm up every year, it makes sense to decrease the temperature that a dark roof creates throughout your building.
Materials for a cool roof can be made of reflective paint, a sheet covering, or reflective tiles or shingles designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, more than 50F cooler than a dark or standard roof. There are more durability and cooling factors with higher solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Solar reflectance reflects the sun's wavelengths decreasing heat transfer to a building. Thermal emittance radiates solar energy and the ability to cool down by emitting heat that is absorbed. These two properties help to absorb less heat and keep your building cooler, especially in the hot summer months.
30% less expensive than conventional commercial roofs
It blocks heat from being absorbed and keeps the building cool, cutting the interior cooling costs by 25%+
This type of roof can last “up to 30% longer than conventional commercial roofs
As hot temperatures continue to expand from spring through summer and into the fall season, the heat on the roof of a dark-colored building creates more internal warmth that filters throughout the building increasing the need for air conditioning for cool relief. Your utility bills go up as a consequence, particularly during peak times, as high as 70% of the total electrical bill.
The solution is a cool roof that will reduce your operating costs and your reliance on air conditioning and electric power grid because you pay for energy based on the time of use. A cool roof decreases the heat gain in your building from the top directly reducing the need for air conditioning.
With a cool roof Los Angeles building owners can contribute in more ways than just reducing the need for air conditioning. Your occupant will feel more comfortable and be less at risk from heat-related illnesses. There will be a quality improvement of the indoor environments, including low indoor pollution.
During a visual inspection, issues like splits, leaks, and structural deterioration can be addressed with cool roof technology. Altering your building’s roof will also help to curtail air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, reduce local air temperatures (the urban heat island effect), and prevent power outages by lowering peak electricity demand.
The initial cost of a cool roof is comparable to a traditional roof. The main cost will include the installation, labor and materials and maintenance, which is low with coating needing to be reapplied every 10-15 years. These upfront costs are balanced by the long-term savings in energy bills, rebates and incentives, and the reduction of air conditioning usage.
