Cool ROOFS FOR HOT PROJECTS

摘要

Imagine specifying a roof that is visually dynamic, yet also reduces cooling energy loads by 30 percent, combats global warming, and decreases roof maintenance costs. This miracle roof can meet all your expectations for comfort, cost and aesthetics and it is not some product from the future-it is a cool roof. Technological advancements and ecological awareness have evolved cool roof materials from the flat, white roofs of yesterday to the myriad colors, materials, and profiles of today. Because they are so versatile, cool roofs can be applied to all styles of projects, from pitched residential to flat commercial roofs. Innovative technologies are pushing the "building" envelope with cool roofs that self-clean, change color accordingly to the temperature, or are holographic, bringing countless design options to an architect's table.
