Energy Star® is a label that helps consumers identify products that save them money and help protect the environment by saving energy, which is usually generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.

* Energy Star® qualified roof products saves money and energy. According to the EPA, about $40 billion is spent annually in the US to air condition buildings, one sixth of all electricity generated each year! Energy Star® qualified roof products reduce the amount of air conditioning needed in buildings, and can reduce energy bills by up to 50%.

* Energy Star® qualified roof products can help you downsize cooling equipment! A reflective roof can reduce peak cooling demand by 10-15 percent. As a result the home or building owner may be able to purchase a smaller, more efficient, and less expensive cooling system.

* Energy Star® qualified roof products can help you decrease pollution in urban areas! Reduced energy demand means less burning of fossil fuels, which results in less pollution from power plants.

Also, Energy Star® qualified roofing products help to reduce the “heat island effect,” in which dark, heat absorbing buildings and paved areas make the air in urban areas hotter, and more smoggy.
