In hot, sunny climates, keeping building interiors at comfortable temperatures for occupants and tenants, as well as maintaining temperate zones for sensitive, expensive equipment (such as computer system servers) can come at a high price. The energy costs associated with operating air conditioning and other cooling methods can be staggering in warm locales. This is specific to buildings that are not designed and constructed with energy efficiency in mind.
The solution? Design and construct—or retrofit—buildings in sun drenched climates utilizing Kingspan’s Cool Roofsolutions. A solar reflective Cool Roof finish can reduce peak cooling energy demand by up to 15 percent. This can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy expenditures over a building's lifespan.
