Save energy Save money Protect the environment Conklin roofing systems have been proven to be energy efficient in some very intense situations and under some very intense scrutiny. Independent studies have shown that Conklin Roofing Systems meet the very highest standards. The ENERGY STAR® is the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) nationwide symbol for energy efficiency. Only products that have proven energy efficiency are awarded the star. Conklin Company is proud to be an ENERGY STAR Products Partner whose white roof systems meet the EPA's energy-efficiency guidelines. Conklin Company has determined that its white roofing systems meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. Reduce air conditioning bills Increase roof durability Reduce wear and tear on air conditioning equipment Increase comfort of building occupants Lower surrounding air temperature Sustainable roofing systems When the Florida Solar Energy center decided to conduct a demonstration of cooling savings of light colored roof surfacing, they looked for a product they believed would lower cooling costs during the hot Florida summer. The product they selected was Conklin's Benchmark® roof coating. Benchmark® was applied to the roofs of seven retail shops in a strip mall in Cocoa, Florida. Each shop had a conventional metal roof and a dedicated direct expansion air conditioning system. Building temperatures were measured at 15 minute intervals over two summers. The results of the demonstration showed a 25.3 percent average reduction in summer space cooling energy in the seven shops. Individual savings ranged from 13 to 48 percent. Shop owners reported that after Benchmark® was applied, they found the interior "much cooler" when opening for business. Some even increased the temperature setting on the interior thermostat to compensate for their reduced cooling needs. Summer isn't the only time when Conklin roofing systems help reduce the cost of energy. Conklin Foam Roofing Systems and Ply Roofing Systems have a layer of insulation that can help lower heating costs in the winter. When combined with one of our light colored roof coatings, they deliver year-round energy efficiency and help reduce heating and air-conditioning costs.
