-
Energy efficiency
According to the Department of Energy, 35% of buildings' average energy bills are related to heating, cooling, or ventilation. Metal roofing is an easy way to reduce a building’s utility burden.
A high-solar reflectance value (SRI), paint system such as white can help improve the building's energy efficiency. This will provide a significant benefit long-term for both the building owner and the environment.
