The payback for using Duracool can be as short as 1 year based upon a 20% energy savings AND roof life is increased by 100%, while reducing roof costs per year as much as 44%.
Extended Roof Life
- The average useful life of many commercial roofs* is approximately 10 years without major maintenance or replacement and
- The average cost per square foot of the original roof is $7.00 then,
- A roof NOT coated with Duracool costs $0.70 per square foot per year.
- $7.00/10 years = $0.70 per sq ft.
At an estimated additional $0.90 per square foot, DURACOOL can DOUBLE the average roof life of most roofs. Let's recalculate:
- The average cost per square foot of a DURACOOL coated roof is $7.90 then,
- A roof coated WITH Duracool costs $0.40 per square foot a year.
- $7.90/20 years = $0.40 per sq ft.
The Benefit from Energy Savings
- You operate a 50,000 square foot manufacturing plant.
- Using 10,000,000 kwh of electricity per year at $.03 per kwh.
- Then, your total power costs for the year are $300,000 per year.
- $0.03 x 10,000,000 kwh = $300,000 per year.
At an estimated additional $0.90 per square foot, Duracool can conservatively save your plant 20% per year in the costs of air conditioning. Let's look at the bottom line:
- If 1/2 or $150,000 of your yearly power costs is air conditioning, and 20% equals $30,000.
- You invest an additional $0.90 per square foot by coating your roof with DURACOOL ($45,000.)
- Your payback is 1.5 years.
*Includes Smooth Built-up roofs, modified Bitumen (Cap sheet), most single ply membranes including Hypalon, EPDM and metal roofs.
DURACOOL BENEFITS
- Reflects 85-90% of heat and ultraviolet rays from the sun- reducing your air conditioning cost by up to 20-30%.
- A DURACOOL coated surface remains within 2°F of the ambient outside temperature.
- Adds years of life to existing roofs at a fraction of the cost of new roofing.
- Noticeably reduces need for interior air conditioning, saving on the cost of utilities.
- Adds lasting beauty to your buildings and a weather barrier.
- High tensile strength and elongation properties resist hail and damage from other falling objects.
- Prevents pre-mature deterioration of Asphaltic roofs.
- Eliminates problems related to corrosion of metal roofs.
