ENERGY STAR
ENERGY STAR is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that promotes energy efficiency. Products that earn the ENERGY STAR label meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by these agencies, helping consumers save money and protect the environment.
Relevance to Liquid Applied Roofing
ENERGY STAR is highly relevant to Liquid Applied roofing systems due to its focus on energy efficiency and environmental benefits. Here are some key points:
- Reflective Coatings: Liquid Applied roofing systems often include reflective coatings that can qualify for ENERGY STAR certification. These coatings reflect more of the sun’s rays, reducing the roof surface temperature and decreasing the amount of heat transferred into the building1.
- Energy Savings: By lowering roof temperatures, ENERGY STAR certified Liquid Applied roofing systems can reduce cooling costs, especially in hot climates. This contributes to significant energy savings over the life of the roof1.
- Environmental Impact: Using ENERGY STAR certified roofing products helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing the energy needed for cooling buildings. This aligns with broader environmental goals and sustainability practices1.
- Product Performance: ENERGY STAR certification ensures that Liquid Applied roofing products meet high standards for performance and durability, providing assurance to consumers and building owners about the quality and effectiveness of these products1.
By choosing ENERGY STAR certified Liquid Applied roofing systems, building owners can enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
