Metal Roof Energy Efficiency by the Numbers
- Energy Star rated metal roofs can reduce energy costs by up to 25%.
- A study by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory found that reflective metal roofs can reduce a building's cooling energy demand by 10-15%.
- In hot climates, metal roofs can have a solar reflectance value of up to 70% , reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the roof and improving the building's energy efficiency.
- A metal roof's long lifespan and durability can also result in long-term energy savings, reducing the need for frequent roof replacement and repairs.
- Metal roofs with insulation can significantly improve energy efficiency, as insulation helps reduce heat transfer into the building.
- Metal roofing systems with ventilation can also improve energy efficiency by removing hot air from the attic space and reducing the load on air conditioning systems.
- Metal roofs reflect the sun's UV and infrared light rays that contribute to roof surface radiant heat, which can result in a 10-25% reduction in cooling costs .
- According to a study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, metal roofs with a high level of reflectance and emissivity can reduce a building's annual energy consumption by up to 40%.
