3 gaf.com/green Why Be COOL? COOL roofs offer both immediate and long-term benefits, including: a white or reflective roof typically increases only F (5 14 C) above ambient temperature during the day building owners can save on their heating and air-conditioning costs 1 of roofs especially when there isn t adequate insulation provided in the roof envelope in buildings that do not have air conditioning cool roofs let you go green by reducing air pollution and the urban heat island effect 1. Visit gaf.com/cool for an energy-savings calculator. such as LEED or Green Globes recognize cool roofing A COOL roof minimizes the solar heat gain of a building by first reflecting incoming sunlight and then by quickly re-emitting the remaining absorbed energy. As a result, this type of roof stays cooler than traditional roofs of similar construction, and therefore keeps the internal temperature of the building cooler. The coolness of a roof is measured by its solar reflectance and thermal emittance. Both are measured on a scale from 0 to 1 the higher the value, the cooler the roof.

4 CoolRoofingSolutions... GAF s COOL Elastomeric/Thermoplastic Roofing Options Next-Generation TPO Roofing. EverGuard Extreme TPO (patent pending) not only provides nextgeneration performance against heat aging and UV degradation (the two key factors 35 YR. directly related to roof system longevity), but it also exceeds all key ASTM standards for TPO membranes. Why settle for standard TPO when you can get the next-generation protection of EverGuard Extreme for your property? Plus, it offers a special guarantee that allows you to install your roof today, but add solar panels or vegetative roofing up to ten years later without compromising your guarantee coverage. Note: EverGuard Extreme TPO is now available in economical 50 mil and 70 mil versions, as well as traditional 60 mil and 80 mil. Best For: All standard, high heat, or solar single-ply applications, or where you just want the best TPO system possible. TPO Roofing.
