A Sustainable Opportunity for Commercial Facilities
Cool Roofs reflect maximum amounts of the sun's
rays and light reflected is reflected as light, NOT HEAT, reducing
the build up and storage of heat in urban environments.
In AUSTRALIA, most commerical buildings have Galvanised and
Zincalume roofing which act as poor reflectors of solar
energy. By reflecting more of the sun's energy these surfaces
can be 20-40°C cooler translating into cooler occupancy zones,
lowering cooling energy demand and thus delivering cost and energy
emission savings.

Reduced Cooling Costs
Less Heat Penetration means lower cooling costs.
Comparative studies identify cooling energy savings of 20-40% ¹are
possible using Dulux® AcraTex® InfraCOOL® Technoloy

Improved Occupancy Comfort
In non-airconditioned facilities such as workshops and
warehousing, cool roofs translate immediately to cooler working and
warehousing facilities, improving productivity and stability of
stored goods

Lowers Carbon Footprint
Less use of air conditioning reduced power consumption and
associated Greenhouse Gasses which is good for the environment and
for you. ² Globally Cool Roof Strategy could offset 24
billion tonnes of CO2 annually
