:: HEAT REFLECTIVE COATINGS
Strongguard's heat reflective coatings are an immediate step on the path to energy efficiency and a cooler community.
What inspired Strongguard Heat Reflective Coatings:
The rising cost of energy and our environmental responsibility is becoming a major consideration to all of us, from the home owner to industrial and commercial operators. Since 2007 electricity prices have increased rapidly and are set to continue rising under current polices and regulations.
The way electricity is being consumed and generated is changing. Peak demand is growing at almost double the rate of average electricity consumption growth. Our reliance on electricity in virtually every aspect of modern society has reached unimagined proportions.
Air-Conditioning represents more than 20% of a commercial buildings energy consumption. 93% of a buildings heat gain is radiant, meaning the sun’s rays are absorbed and converted to heat. By reducing the heat gain of a building we reduce the energy needed to cool it, in turn reducing energy costs.
Cool roof technology not only lowers the temperature inside the building but can help to reduce the effect of Urban Heat Islands and that plays a role in lowering the air temperatures in our communities.
