To provide excellent weather protection is the main purpose of a roof. But did you know that it can also help you save more energy? Here’s how.
1. Keeps your attic cool. Proper attic ventilation has always been an integral part of roof design. By drawing fresh, cool air into the attic through intake vents and letting warm, moisture-laden air escape via exhaust vents, it allows for smooth and continuous airflow throughout the attic. This means excess heat won’t become trapped in the space and cause your air conditioning system to work overtime. Thanks to the way your roof distributes airflow, you can maintain a pleasant and comfortable indoor environment for your home.
2. Insulates your home. Your roof can also keep your home’s energy costs to a minimum through the attic insulation. What happens is that the insulation prevents outdoor temperatures from entering your attic. At the same time, it stops valuable cooling and heating energy from your interior living spaces from rising up and escaping to the attic.
3. Reflects solar heat. The better your roof’s ability to reflect sunlight, the more energy-efficient it is. Solar reflectance is generally tied to the type of material used by your roofing system. For instance, there are asphalt shingles, like the GAF Timberline® CS Shingles offered by Crown Roofing LTD, that come with advanced reflective technology. They help prevent attic heat buildup and reduce air conditioning use, which may lead to significant energy savings.
