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

What is a Cool Zone Roof?

Duro-Last’s Cool Zone roofing membrane reflects up to 88% of the sun’s rays, reducing the heat absorbed by the building. This technology uses special pigments and additives to enhance solar reflectance and thermal emittance, which keeps the roof surface cooler.

Benefits of Cool Zone Roofs

• Energy Savings: By reducing heat transfer into the building, Cool Zone roofs lower the workload on air conditioning systems. As a result, energy consumption decreases, leading to significant 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 prolongs its lifespan, delaying the need for costly replacements.
• Environmental Impact: By lowering energy demand, Cool Zone roofs help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shrink your carbon footprint.

Understanding the Solar Reflective Index (SRI)

The Solar Reflective Index (SRI) measures a roof’s ability to reflect solar heat. It combines 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. This makes them an excellent choice for buildings aiming to maximize energy efficiency and reduce cooling loads. You can learn more about the importance of the SRI index in this article on FacilitiesNet.
