Replacing a traditional roof with a cool roof system represents an investment. But the initial cost is quickly offset by both significant energy savings and reduced maintenance requirements.
The IRR is therefore very favorable, as demonstrated by this building (see our other projects here).
Problem: Summer overheating in a cold storage building.
Type of waterproofing: Bituminous membrane.
Project description: Application of the CoolRoof solution to a 3,770 m² roof.
Instrumentation: Measurement of indoor/outdoor ambient temperature and indoor/outdoor surface temperature on buildings with and without CoolRoof.
Application date: July 25, 2023. Analysis period: One year. Climate zone: H3.
Baisse significative des températures extérieures et intérieures suite à lʼapplication de notre solution CoolRoof. En plus de la diminution de 21 % du nombre de degrés-heures dʼinconfort, le CoolRoof a permis des économies dʼénergie, des économies financières et une réduction de lʼempreinte carbone du bâtiment.
