Energy
Efficient "Green" Roofing
Established in 1998, the
Cool Roof Ratings Council (www.coolroofs.org)
is a not-for-profit educational organization
created to develop methods for evaluating and labeling reflective
roofing products in an accurate manner. The CRRC has identified
three activities:
One: to implement and
communicate fair, accurate and credible radiative energy performance
rating systems for roof surfaces.
Two: to support research into energy related radiative
properties of roofing surfaces, including durability of those properties
and durability of the affected roof system(s).
Three: to provide education and objective support to
parties interested in understanding and comparing various roofing
options.
Dow Roofing Systems is a class "A" Charter Member since 1998. All Dow Roofing Systems membranes consistantly exceed CCRC's energy requirements for Stevens EP™ (TPO), Stevens EV® (Elvaloy) and Stevens CSPE (made with Hypalon® from DuPont). and objective support to
parties interested in understanding and comparing various roofing
options.
