Energy Efficient Roofing By: Home Performance Concepts

Green Roofing - the Energy Star qualified roofing shingles (including other roofing components) help to conserve resources, maximize the use of reclycled materials and reduce energy use by improving attic ventilation. Thanks to modern reflective technology, you can join the green revolution with Cool Series roofing shingles. The highly reflective shingles can help to reduce temperatures in your attic, so your home will stay cooler in the summer—to save on air conditioning costs.
The Cool Series shingles use specially-designed roofing granules that have greater reflectance than traditional shingles. The result minimizes the transfer of heat to the space below to keep your attic cooler in the summer.
 
Lowering colling costs: some colors may save 7-15% to total cooling costs, depending on geography, season, and property.

Tax Credit: in some areas cooling roofs qualify for energy tax credit, saving you even more money (Asphalt Roof - 10% of the cost, up to $500.00 www.energystar.gov
