COOL ROOFING
COOL ROOFING
A "Cool Roof" is a roofing system designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof. This helps to reduce the amount of heat transferred to the building below, thereby lowering indoor temperatures and decreasing the need for air conditioning. Cool roofs are typically characterized by their high solar reflectance (ability to reflect sunlight) and thermal emittance (ability to release absorbed heat).
O'Hagin attic ventilation systems are designed to blend into surrounding roofing material. (ASV) Increases airflow and can increase energy savings in cool roof systems. passive, reducing energy costs related to heating and cooling.
Reflectivity: Cool roofs are typically made with materials that have high solar reflectance, such as white or light-colored coatings, tiles, shingles, or membranes. These materials reflect a larger portion of sunlight away from the building, reducing heat absorption.
Thermal Emittance: In addition to reflecting sunlight, cool roofs also have high thermal emittance, which allows them to release absorbed heat efficiently. This helps to keep the roof surface cooler and reduces the transfer of heat into the building.
Energy Efficiency: By reducing heat absorption and lowering indoor temperatures, cool roofs can significantly decrease the need for air conditioning during hot weather. This can lead to lower energy bills and improved energy efficiency in buildings.
Comfort: Cool roofs help to create more comfortable indoor environments by reducing the temperature of the building's interior spaces. This can improve occupant comfort and productivity, especially in areas with hot climates or during summer months.
Environmental Benefits: Cool roofs can help mitigate the urban heat island effect, where cities experience higher temperatures due to the absorption and
Regulatory Compliance: In some regions, cool roofs are mandated by building codes or energy efficiency standards as part of efforts to reduce energy consumption and combat climate change. Installing a cool roof can help building owners comply with these regulations.
Extended Roof Lifespan: The reduced thermal stress on cool roofs can help extend the lifespan of roofing materials by minimizing the expansion and contraction that occurs with temperature fluctuations. This can result in lower maintenance costs and longer-lasting roofs.

The best roofing material depends on your budget, the slope of your roof, and your climate. Popular options include:
Asphalt shingles (affordable but shorter lifespan)
Metal roofing (durable and energy efficient but more expensive)
Tile (long-lasting but heavy and costly)
Wood shakes (natural look but high maintenance)
We can advise you on the pros and cons of each material for your home.
With proper installation and maintenance, you can expect:
Asphalt shingle roofs to last 15-30 years
Metal roofs to last 40-70 years
Tile roofs to last 50-100 years
The longevity depends on the roofing material, the quality of the installation, proper ventilation, and weather conditions.
Yes, a new roof can make your home more energy efficient by providing better insulation and ventilation. This reduces heating and cooling costs. Cool roof technologies with reflective surfaces can also lower energy usage in warm climates. An ENERGY STAR certified roof is estimated to save homeowners an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs.
