Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this cool roof roi calculator tool.

What is California Title 24 and why does it matter for cool roofs?
Title 24 requires specific SRI (Solar Reflectance Index) values for residential and commercial roofs in CA. Mastering these technical requirements allows you to position yourself as a compliance expert for both new builds and major reroofing projects in that market.
How should I market the ROI of high-reflectance systems on commercial bids?
Focus on the 'Lifecycle Savings.' A cool roof can reduce HVAC equipment wear by 15%, leading to longer building lifespans and lower maintenance costs. Presenting this to building owners shifts the project from a 'Pure Expense' to a 'Capital Investment with ROI.'
Should my company offer reflectivity testing for existing flat roofs?
Yes; use a simple hand-held SRI meter to show how much heat an old black roof is absorbing. This visual data is a powerful closing tool that justifies the premium for a new premium white coating or single-ply system.
