TAMKO's MetalWorks Shingles in "cool colors" were recently named Energy Star-qualified products, making them eligible for application for the American Reinvestment & Recovery Act (ARRA) federal tax. Each MetalWorks Cool Color product is also rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC). The shingles have an initial solar reflectance of at least 25 percent and a maintenance solar reflectance of at least 15 percent after three years of normal use. |

Vail Titan Select metal shingles by Custom-Bilt Metals are designed to combine style with durability. Heavy-gauge metal construction and an interlocking design make it nearly impossible for moisture to penetrate. They stay in place even in extreme wind conditions. These energy-efficient shingles feature PPG Ultra-Cool and Kynar 500 reflective pigmentation technology that reflects up to 70 percent of the sun's energy and reduces cooling costs. |

ATAS International offers cool pigmented paint technology in 27 colors. The paint reflects infrared radiation, thus allowing the color to appear the same while keeping the material cool. Roofs that are highly reflective and highly emissive can significantly reduce the amount of heat transferred into the building. For every 1 percent increment in roof reflectance, surface temp decreases 1 degree F. |
