Cool Roof Technology: Cool Roofing technology has been recognized as one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways of lowering energy consumption. All data now shows between 15 to 20 % reduction in energy consumption when a cool roof is installed.

Q. What is a Cool Roof and how does it work

A. Cool Roofs reduce energy by using shingles with solar-reflecting granules that keep roofs cooler than conventional shingles. This allows them to reflect the sun’s heat, thereby reducing the heat transferred into the structure below.

Q. What exactly is Title 24, Part 6?

A. Title 24, Part 6, is California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standard. Its purpose is to help reduce peak energy consumption, particularly the kind that contributes to rolling blackouts. Starting January 1, 2010 both residential and commercial buildings with steep-slope roofs are required to meet Title 24, Part 6, standards.
