Dallas Cool Roof Systems | Dallas Energy Efficient Roofs
Energy Efficient Roofs Are Proven Performers
Highly reflective, or "cool" roofs, are having their day in the sun. During the warmest weather, studies have indicated they lower roof temperatures by up to 40 percent and decrease the amount of heat transferred into a buildingʼs interior. That helps reduce energy needs for cooling – up to 40 percent in some studies. Using less energy saves money and reduces the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere.
Conklin roofing systems have been proven to be energy efficient in some very intense situations and under some very intense scrutiny. Independent studies have shown that Conklin Roofing Systems meet the very highest standards.

A Benchmark® Performance Under The Toughest Conditions
When the Florida Solar Energy Center decided to conduct a demonstration of cooling savings of light colored roof surfacing, they looked for a product they believed would lower cooling costs during the hot Florida summer. The product they selected was Conklinʼs Benchmark® roof coating.
Benchmark was applied to the roofs of seven retail shops in a strip mall in Cocoa, Florida. Each shop had a conventional metal roof and a dedicated direct expansion air conditioning system. Building temperatures were measured at 15 minute intervals over two summers.
The results of the demonstration showed a 25.3 percent average reduction in summer space cooling energy in the seven shops. Individual savings ranged from 13 to 48 percent.
Shop owners reported that after Benchmark was applied, they found the interior "much cooler" when opening for business. Some even increased the temperature setting on the interior thermostat to compensate for their reduced cooling needs.
Savings For All Seasons
Summer isnʼt the only time when Conklin roofing systems help reduce the cost of energy. Conklin Foam Roofing Systems and Ply Roofing Systems have a layer of insulation that can help lower heating costs in the winter. When combined with one of our light colored roof coatings, they deliver year-round energy efficiency and help reduce heating and air-conditioning costs

"We live in an area where the temperatures range from 25° below to 100° above Zero, so the roof has a lot of movement and weather related stress. This process sealed our leaks, stopped the rusting and allows our students and staff to stay dry. We didn’t know we were going to get increased energy efficiency when we started, but we are spending less to cool the building. We are going to have more of our buildings done with the MR System."
