ENERGY STAR is a US Government rating system that helps consumers identify products that save money and protect the environment by saving energy from sources known to add to global warming and pollution. If a product has an energy star label that means it meets or exceeds the specifications set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE).
ENERGY STAR label minimum specifications for solar reflection roof products are outlined below.
Warranties must also be equal or superior to comparable non-reflective roof products.

Saves Energy and Money – According to EPA, about $40 billion is spent annually in the US
on air-conditioned buildings – one-sixth of all electricity generated in a year! ENERGY STAR
qualified roof reflection products reduce the amount of air conditioning needed. MirrorSEAL has
higher performance ratings over the total life of a roof as it does not attract dirt or deteriorate with
extreme weather conditions and holds up to ponding. This corresponds directly to higher energy
bill savings using MirrorSEAL!
Downsizes Cooling Equipment –
An ENERGY STAR rated reflective roof product can reduce
peak cooling demand by 10 to 15%. As a result a home or building owner can purchase a
smaller, more efficient, less expensive, cooling system. MirrorSEAL can reduce peak cooling
demand up to 30%.
Decreases Pollution in Urban Areas –
Reduced energy demand means less burning of fossil
fuels, resulting in less power plant pollution. Roof reflective products also reduce the “heat
island effect” of dark, heat-absorbing buildings and paved areas that make the air in urban areas
hotter and smoggier.
