Cool Roofs: Reflectivity Matters

Karen- Your "Cool Roof" article were excellent. Keep it up.

Karen,

Good article. To be fair, you should point out that a cool roof will save an owner on the A/C cost, but add cost for heating (less beneficial heat absorbed in the winter). In northern climates where heating costs far outweigh A/C costs a cool roof will raise an owners overall annual operating costs.

I agree with RayH, the cool roof would be very beneficial to those in the southern half of the United States but not the northern half.  If you are an <a href="www.mosshomeimprovements.com/.../">Indianapolis roofing contractor</a>, you are cold most of the year and that isn't very cost effective for your customers.  If I were in Alabama, I would be all over this.
