Energy-Saving Roofing

If your operation’s utility costs are on the rise, your roofing system may be the cause. That’s because many of the most common commercial roofing materials such as asphalt, metal, EPDM, modified bitumen, and others absorb most of the sun’s UV rays as heat. Depending on the material, rooftop temperatures can be as much as 90°F higher than the ambient temperature. The heat from the roof is then transferred to your building’s interior, increasing the indoor temperature. As a result, your HVAC equipment must work harder and longer to maintain a comfortable working environment, increasing energy costs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), approximately 40% of energy costs for commercial buildings are consumed by HVAC equipment. So, if you want to save energy costs, the best place to start is with an Energy-Saving Roofing.

Your Existing Commercial Roof Can Be Cool

Troyer Commercial Roofing is a certified Conklin Commercial Roofing Systems contractor installing and maintaining energy-saving roofing systems for agricultural, industrial, and commercial buildings in Southwest Florida. Conklin’s industrial-strength white reflective “Cool Roof” coatings offer superior reflectivity and are rated by the EnergyStar Program and the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). Our coatings transform most existing flat or low-slope commercial roofing systems including BUR, CSPE, EPDM, Mod-Bit, TPO, PVC, concrete, wood, and metal, to name a few, into a seamless, leak-free, waterproof, and energy-efficient “cool roof” without the need for a roof replacement.

High Solar Reflectivity Reduces Heat Transfer

Just like spending time in the sun without sunscreen can damage the skin, roofs without cool roof coatings can damage the roof membrane. In addition, its exposure to UV radiation can cause thermal movement causing the roofing materials to break down due to increased thermal stress from the continuous expansion and contraction of temperature fluctuations. Conklin’s energy-saving roofing coatings, including Benchmark®, Flexion® XL, PUMA® XL, Rapid Roof III®, and Rapid Roof® HV, reflect up to 89% of UV radiation, far surpassing many other reflective materials. It also reduces thermal stress, increasing the lifespan of roofing materials.

Cool Roof Coatings Keep Your Building Cooler Inside and Out

When rooftops absorb the sun’s energy as heat, it not only makes interior spaces warmer but also increases the temperature around the exterior of the building, known as the heat island effect. Conklin’s energy-saving roofing coatings reduce this phenomenon keeping your commercial building cooler inside and outside. How much cooler? The ultra-high solar reflectivity of our energy-saving cool roof coatings reduces roof surface temperatures up to 80°F, which significantly lowers indoor temperatures.  A Benchmark® demonstration performed by the Florida Solar Energy Center discovered that retail shops with Conklin’s energy-saving roofing coating noticed an average 25% reduction in cooling energy.  Cooler interior spaces contribute to a comfortable and healthier working environment & save money too.

Reducing Energy Consumption Lowers Utility Costs

Business owners can expect that the high solar reflectivity and thermal emittance of our elastomeric energy-saving roofing system can reduce cooling costs up to 30% during the summer when your HVAC system is working the hardest. In addition, our single-ply membrane roofing and spray polyurethane foam (SPF) have a layer of insulation that will reduce winter heating costs for energy savings all year long. In fact, many of our satisfied customers noticed that our energy-saving roofing paid for itself within the warranty period. Plus, your business may qualify for tax credits, utility rebates, and other financial incentives that will further offset your investment.
