Metallic Building Company |
|
 Click images to enlarge. |
 Metallic, a member of NCI’s network of companies, joins NCI in their stated corporate Green Mission and Vision. Metallic’s priority is to help its customers reach their green building project objectives by providing ideas, education and solutions. Metallic offers cool paint colors for all of its metal roof panels. When used properly, considering the environment and the slope of the roof, a cool roof can reduce energy consumption, providing significant cost savings while helping to mitigate urban heat islands. Many of Metallic’s cool colors meet the reflectivity and emissivity performance levels required by LEED and ENERGY STAR to mitigate the cause of UHIs and energy consumption overall. Reflectivity is the deflection of solar energy from a surface. Roofs at 2:12 and greater have been proven to generate less of a heat island effect than lower-sloped roofs. Greater reflectivity abilities require less energy to cool a building. To download a color chart, click here or contact a Metallic District Manager to request an actual color chip sample. |

When using Roof Huggers to reroof over an existing metal roof, the created air space can be used to install photovoltaics to the new roof panels. The systems can heat and cool air and water, and produce electricity. Designs can accommodate both solar electric and solar thermal renewable energy systems. These roofing and renewable energy system components can be eligible for many state and federal tax incentives, and agricultural projects may qualify for additional federal grants. An additional green benefit is that retrofitting with Roof Huggers adds little or no waste to landfills. Also, steel is one of the most recycled construction materials.

RoofScreen Manufacturing |
|
 Click images to enlarge |
  RoofScreen Mfg. produces modular, bolt-together rooftop framing systems with leak-proof roof connections. The high-strength structural design allows fewer frames and attachment points, making it a perfect racking solution for solar arrays. Mounting solar panels on elevated racks has many advantages. Higher density per square foot of roof area can be attained because the system can be elevated above obstructions, and efficiency of the collectors increased because the racks can be adjusted for the optimal angle. A by-product of the placement of solar arrays above the surface of the roof is that the collectors shade the roof surface and allows air to circulate over it, thus keeping the roof surface cooler and lessening the demands on air-conditioning units for interior comfort. For more information about Roofscreen’s PV rack system, visit www.roofscreen.com, or email info@roofscreen.com. |
S-5!™ |
|
 Click images to enlarge |
    The S-5-PV mounting kit is an ideal solution for mounting solar modules on standing seam metal roofs. One advantage to using the hardware is that it doesn't pierce the metal roof panels, so its use violates no provision of the roof warranty. Another compelling benefit relates to performance. Through their design, S-5-PV clamps secure the solar trays several inches above the roof surface. This results in a shaded roof surface and the creation of a plenum between the surface of the roof and underside of the PV modules. Tests have shown this mounting method can lower a roof's surface temperature by as much as 65 degrees. And a cooler roof means a more energy efficient building. The S-5-PV kit is designed to work with machined aluminum S-5!™ Mini clamps. They'll last the life of the roof and are completely recyclable. For more information, visit www.s-5.com/dbwm, or e-mail info@s-5.com. |
