Green Roofing Systems
As a building owner and/or building maintenance manager, you know that operational costs have continued to escalate. With dramatic budget cuts and buildings that are in need of repair or updating, you have to utilize every source you can to get the best value for your investment.
Saving money on energy costs and using “GREEN” products has become an increasingly important task in the facilities world, and the word “sustainability” is receiving a lot of attention. Roof sustainability means the design, manufacture, maintenance, life-cycle impact, adaptive re-use, destruction and recycling of the roofing components that help meet the long term environmental standards demanded by today’s high-performance buildings.
What are the qualifications for a sustainable roof?
It is important to select a roof that delivers the Five E’s of high performance roofing:
Energy: Reduces energy use and improves a building’s efficiency in any climate.
Environment: Minimizes impact on the earth’s environment throughout the roof’s life and helps maintain healthy, productive environment inside the building.
Endurance: Meets or exceeds performance requirements for long life: all-weather reliability; chemical, fire and puncture resistance; and ease of maintenance and repair.
Economics: Makes economic sense at the time of purchase and in the long run. A true economic comparison analyzes the cost of a roof throughout its life-cycle.
Engineering: The right materials, design and manufacturing process enable the other four E’s, resulting in a complete, integrated roofing system that can be installed quickly and easily and performs reliably over the long run.
