Energy Star Rated Roofing

Throughout the roofing industry, one standard is set high above the rest when it comes to roofing protection, environmental sustainability, and energy efficiency. That standard is set forth by the Energy Star program, developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The Best Quality Products And Most Durable Overall Roofing Solutions

We are picky about which roofing materials vendors we work with at A-to-Z Roofing & Exteriors. We understand that in order to provide our Colorado customers with the finest quality products and most durable overall roofing solutions, the shingles and tiles must be of the highest quality.

And so, we’ve chosen to partner with roofing suppliers whose products meet the stringent standards of the Energy Star program. By carrying this efficiency rating, these roofing products assure our customers that the roof they’re getting is specially engineered to lower utility costs, keep your home or business cooler, and reduce the amount of solar heat that inferior roofing materials can trap and radiate.

What Roofs Qualify as Energy Star-Rated?

Qualifying for an Energy Star rating is not easy or simple. Multiple criteria need to be met in order for any roofing product supplier to make the mark. With as hard as the US government makes it for a roofing material supplier to obtain the Energy Star rating, it’s worth it. The end result is an energy-conscious roofing solution that saves money on utilities, is better for the environment, and is rated by a respected government agency.

Proven Energy Efficiency

Probably the most difficult quality assurance standard to meet, the Energy Star energy efficiency rating must be earned by having the roofing materials tested for thermal performance in direct sunlight.  Only when roofing products are proven to reduce heating and cooling costs can they be considered worthy of the Energy Star rating.

Enhanced Solar Reflectance

When a roof is able to reflect more incoming sunlight—whether through the use of coloring, material texture, or physical design—that roof is said to have a higher amount of solar reflectance. More solar reflectance means less absorbed heat which, in turn, helps to lower cooling costs. When less fossil fuels are used to run things like air conditioners and swamp coolers, the benefits for the environment are huge.

    Materials Must Be Broadly Available

    It wouldn’t make sense to provide an Energy Star rating for roofing materials that couldn’t be purchased by roofing companies like us. Therefore, the EPA only gives Energy Star ratings to roofing material suppliers who can distribute their products throughout the country.
