"Cool" Science

Solar Reflective

Premier Radiance® Elite and Premier Radiance® Solar Reflective Shingles featuring 3M™ Cool Roofing Granules reflect up to 28% of solar energy from the sun here in Hawaii, back to the atmosphere. 3M™ Cool Roofing Granules are up to four times more reflective than comparable typical standard colored granules*.

Thermal Emittance

The thermal emittance of an asphalt shingle is a measure of how effectively it radiates heat back into the atmosphere. Shingles with higher thermal emittance values radiates more heat back into the atmosphere, which means less heat passes through to the attic space below. And we know how hot it can get here in Hawaii.

The Result

The solar reflective index (SRI) value is derived by combining the solar reflectance and thermal emittance values of a particular shingle. Tests show that applying shingles with a higher SRI value results in a lower attic temperatures when compared to the same structure covered with shingles that have a lower SRI value**.

Standing seam metal roofs with kynar 500 coating

Kynar 500® based painted metal roofing can achieve solar reflectance of over 70%. Reflected solar energy allows the roof surface to remain cooler, which means less heat is transferred into the building. Cool metal roofing coated with Kynar 500® based resin is one way to limit the urban heat island effect Here in Hawaii.

Urban Heat Island - a built environment where the large portion of dark absorbing surfaces such as asphalt paving and dark roof tops trap solar energy and radiate the energy back into the atmosphere. Such areas typically have less vegetation than the surroundings. Urban heat islands can have an air temperature that is 6-12°F higher than the rural suburbs.

One way to measure how "cool" is a roof can be with a term called solar reflectance index (SRI). This unitless index is calculated using the solar reflectance value, the thermal emittance value, and a wind coefficient. The SRI calculation can also be used to estimate the surface temperature of the roof product under prescribed conditions. The method for calculating SRI is defined in ASTM E1980-01. Materials with the highest SRI values are the coolest choices for roofing.

Fluorosurfactant Free (FSF®)

Arkema produces Kynar 500® PVDF resin using a patented fluorosurfactant-free (FSF®) process. This means that no fluorosurfactant of any kind is used. Some foreign PVDF producers for the coatings market (who export to the USA and Europe) still reportedly use PFOA and are not part of the U.S. EPA voluntary stewardship program.

It is important for PVDF coating consumers to understand what they are using. Can your coating provider certify that its PVDF supplier is part of the U.S. EPA voluntary program? Can the coating provider certify that the PVDF it uses no longer contains PFOA or related higher homologue chemicals in its manufacture?

Cedar wood shakes

#1 Heavy Cedar Hand Split Shakes.
Trees are a renewable resource & the use of wood building products is an environmentally sound choice. The forest industry replaces what it removes; the same cannot be said of iron ore, precious oil reserves, bauxite or limestone, all used to create alternative building products. Wood is also the most energy-efficient building material available today here in Hawaii and Beyond.

When you compare the total energy costs of different kinds of building materials including the cost to acquire the raw material, transport it, process it into a useful product and then actually use it - wood far outshines its competitors.
Natural Wood Shakes are also the COOLEST ROOF on the market.

Handsplit & Resawn Shakes:
* Split face exposed with a naturally rustic appearance, sawn on back.
* Most common are 18" & 24" lengths.
* Butt thickness ranges from 3/8" to 1" plus.
