Cool Roofs
Kingspan's wall systems offer high-performance,
sustainable roof finishes, including solar reflective Cool Roof®
rated options that can reduce peak cooling energy demand by up to
15%. Cool Roof® rated solutions comply with codes and green
building programs. When applied these finishes can contribute to
several LEED® credits.
Cool Roof® coatings are intended to reduce heat islands (thermal
gradient differences between developed and undeveloped areas) to
minimize impact on microclimates
and human and wildlife habitat.
As required by LEED® credit 7.2, Sustainable Sites - Heat Island
Effect - Roof, the cool color palette for Kingspan roof systems is
Energy Star® compliant, specifying highly reflective and
high-emissivity roofing (emissivity of at least 0.9 when tested in
accordance with ASTM E408) for a minimum of 75% of the roof
surface.
