The Benefits of Energy Efficient Metal Roofing Joe Hall Roofing and Cool Metal Roofing Fort
Worth TX
As reported by the Joe Hall Roofing and Cool Metal Roofing Coalition and the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, installation of reflective metal roofing can save your home up to 40%
in summer cooling energy costs while highly emissive metal roofs can reduce urban air
temperatures by as much as 12 ° F. Combined, these benefits mean less money out of your
wallet, less dependence on energy resources and less general air pollution in your neighborhood
and across the nation. The secret to metal roofing's energy savings
is in its variety of finishes. As shown above, the basic, unpainted metal roof will reflect
much of the solar radiation usually absorbed in your attic and home by an asphalt roof.
But, for homes in warmer climates, pre-painted or granular coated metal roofing systems not
only reflect solar energy but also cool your home by re-emitting most of what solar radiation
is absorbed. Where annual cooling loads dominate, a highly reflective and highly emissive painted
or granular-coated metal roof (Fort Worth Cool Metal Roofing) is optimal for reducing
energy consumption and can actually re-emit up to 90% of absorbed solar radiation.
Additionally, most metal roofing, including standing seam, is composed of recycled material
and can be installed directly onto an existing asphalt roof, reducing landfill waste and
promoting quick installation as well as decades of environmentally-sound, maintenance-free
strength and beauty.
Cool Pigment Technology - Joe Hall Cool Metal Roofing Fort Worth
On a building or on a home, the roof has a major impact with the absorption of heat from
sunlight (Solar Radiation). The heat is either reflected into the atmosphere or absorbed
through conduction into the building. Any solar radiation that is absorbed will heat
the roof's surface. The more the solar radiation is absorbed, the greater the need to find
alternative means to dissipate the heat. That's where emittance comes into play. Emissivity
is measures of the roof's ability to shed absorbed heat.
The roof's design (type, color, elevation) will determine how the heat is reflected and
absorbed heat is emitted. "Cool" coating technology or Fort Worth TX Joe Hall Roofing and Cool
Metal Roofing focuses on reflecting solar radiation (Solar Reflectivity), and shedding
what heat is absorbed away from the surface (Thermal Emittance).
Cool Coatings -- Fort Worth Joe Hall Roofing and Cool Metal Roofing
Coatings colored with conventional pigments tend to absorb infrared radiation. Replacing
conventional pigments with "cool" pigments (absorb less infrared radiation) can yield
similarly colored coatings with higher solar reflectance. Mainly, cool coatings or Fort
Worth Joe Hall Roofing and Cool Metal Roofing lower roof surface temperatures, reducing
the need for cooling energy in conditioned buildings and making unconditioned buildings
more comfortable.
How do the "cool" pigments work
Pigments provide color by absorbing and reflecting different parts of the sun's wavelength spectrum
based on their chemistry. Color pigments selectively absorb visible light, and what light it reflects
appears to the human eye as color. Pigments also have IR characteristics. While nearly
40% of the sun's energy occurs in the visible light range (400 to 700 nm), more than 50%
of the sun's energy is in the non-visible infrared region (700-2500nm). It's infrared
(IR) that is largely responsible for heat build-up.
There are two types of pigments used in coatings: organic and inorganic. Organic pigments offer
very vivid and bright colors but are generally not as lightfast and opaque as inorganic pigments.
It is the inorganic pigments that are used for applications that are warranted against
color change from sunlight and the elements. For the most demanding applications, like
metal roofing, a special group of inorganic pigments known as Complex Inorganic Color
Pigments (CICP) are used. Certain pigments within this group exhibit high IR-reflectivity
for a given visible color.
