Metal Roofing qualifies for $ 1,500 tax credit

Drexel Metal Cool Roofs = $ 1,500 tax credit



Drexel Metals Energy Star Listed Roof-LINK BETWEEN ENERGY SAVINGS AND COOL ROOFS


Solar reflectance is the most important characteristic of a roof product in terms of yielding the highest energy savings during warmer months. The higher the solar reflective value the more efficient the product is in reflecting sunlight and heat away from the building and reducing roof temperature. This is particularly important in areas of the U.S. where peak load is a concern.

Emissivity can also contribute to a cool roof. In warm and sunny climates highly emissive roof products can help reduce the cooling load on the building by releasing the remaining heat absorbed from the sun. However, there is also evidence that low emissivity may benefit those buildings located in colder climates by retaining heat and reducing the heating load. Research on the benefits of emissivity is ongoing. There is also studies that show a small air space between your metal roof and your roof deck with act as an insulator in the colder months. This type of installation will require a vented ridge vent and soffit vent and it has been found the steep the putch of the roof the more air flow (like a chimney) you will encounter and less heat transfer into your dwelling.
