White Roof Energy Savings Lancaster PA

Going green, being environmentally conscious and aware is not really a new concept. It also isn’t generally something most people think about when it comes to roofing or construction at all. But there are a lot of ways, when considering a new commercial roof, to “go green” and save you some green as well! Let’s dive into….
 
SOLAR!!
 
Solar power has been around for a long time. and when it comes to commercial buildings, it’s even more beneficial than residential. Here are just a few of the benefits 
  • Reduces energy bills for your business. The average commercial property sees a 75 percent reduction in their bill
  • Improves cash flow and profit. Get paid by utility companies, who are required to purchase SRECs, and add to your cash flow and profits.
  • Offers tax deductions. You’ll receive a 30 percent federal tax credit, plus additional tax write-offs
  • Adds real estate value

What Does Solar Have to Do with Roofing?

Well, one of the additional benefits of partnering a new solar power system with a new white roofing system, is part of that new roof can be paid for! There are lots of programs that pay for part or all of your new roof if you partner it with a new solar system at the time of install. At J Smucker Contracting, we partner with several local solar companies in the area to bring that value and continuity to our clients. We also help facilitate the entire process keeping it smooth for you.

Energy Saving Roofing Systems

The roofing system itself can be “green” and provide energy savings. Converting from an old black rubber roof to a white reflective energy saving roof coating or membrane can save you thousands and thousands every year on energy costs. Insulation can also be added to increase r-value and save on energy. Skylights can be added to allow more natural light in….there really are a lot of small and large ways that the new roof project can save you money and be green. The important thing is to partner with a commercial roofing company that knows how to give you a roof that gives you all the energy savings possible! 

For more information on white reflective energy saving roof systems, you can read our past article entitled “An Introduction to Reflective Roofing“.
