Green roofing options are increasing in popularity and cost-efficiency. However many Texas residents do not realize the benefits a green roof can offer as a practical investment for businesses.
Reduce Cooling and Heating Costs
The roof is the largest area of heat gain or loss in a building. A green roof can help minimize those effects by keeping the building and the air around it cooler through transpiration and evaporation. It also provides a lighter colored surface that absorbs less heat. This can make a big difference in places like Texas. In cooler weather, the green roof acts as an insulating layer, keeping the inside of the building warmer. Your building will use less energy for cooling and heating, helping keep energy costs down.
Your business may also qualify for the financial incentives that are available for reduced energy consumption. Many local governments offer tax credits and many utility companies offer rebates or rate reductions that you can take advantage of.
Increased Life Span of HVAC Systems and Roofing Materials
Since less energy is spent heating and cooling the building, the HVAC system will have less operating time. In return for the lessened amount of wear and tear, its lifespan can be increased, and possible savings may be associated with decreased maintenance demands.
Green commercial roofing offer protection for the roof itself, significantly increasing its lifespan. It provides an adequate buffer for the roofing materials, and can decrease the effects of the harsh sun that causes premature wear.
Extending the life of your HVAC system and roof also saves money and helps reduce landfill waste, since they will need to be replaced less often.
Increased Property Value
Eco-friendly buildings are in high demand and a green roof can increase the demand for your property and the price you can get for it when you sell. The increased aesthetics provided add to the overall value of the property, just as commercial landscaping would. If there are several different businesses located in your building, a more efficient building will keep their operating costs down, increasing the chances they will stay.
These are just a few of the many benefits available for eco-friendly, efficient roofing options. If you are interested in how installing a green roof can help your business, contact the experts at BELDON® Roofing Company, serving the commercial roofing needs of businesses throughout Texas.
