As the summer heat intensifies, building owners and managers are constantly seeking ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce cooling costs. One innovative solution gaining traction in the commercial roofing industry is Duro-Last’s Cool Zone technology. At Diversified Services, we’re committed to providing our clients with cutting-edge roofing solutions, and Cool Zone roofs are a prime example of how we prioritize both performance and sustainability!

What is Cool Zone Technology?

Duro-Last’s Cool Zone roofing membrane is engineered to reflect a significant portion of the sun’s rays, up to 88%, reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the building. This technology incorporates special pigments and additives that enhance solar reflectance and thermal emittance, resulting in a cooler roof surface temperature.

Benefits of Cool Zone Roofs

• Energy Savings: By minimizing heat transfer into the building, Cool Zone roofs can significantly reduce the workload on air conditioning systems. This translates to lower energy consumption and substantial cost savings over time.
• Enhanced Comfort: A cooler roof surface helps maintain a more comfortable interior temperature, especially in buildings with large roof areas or those located in hot climates.
• Extended Roof Lifespan: The reduced heat stress on the roofing membrane can help prolong its lifespan, potentially delaying the need for costly replacements.
• Environmental Impact: By lowering energy demand, Cool Zone roofs contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a smaller carbon footprint.

Understanding the Solar Reflective Index (SRI)

The Solar Reflective Index (SRI) is a key measure of a roof’s ability to reflect solar heat. It combines both solar reflectance (the ability to reflect sunlight) and thermal emittance (the ability to radiate absorbed heat). The higher the SRI value, the cooler the roof. Duro-Last’s Cool Zone membranes boast impressive SRI values up to 111, making them an ideal choice for buildings aiming to maximize energy efficiency and reduce cooling loads.
