Duro-Last Cool Zone Roofing System
Duro-Last: Defining Rooftop Sustainability
In
the commercial roofing industry, reflectivity has been the dominant
discussion point for several years, and the Duro-Last® Cool Zone®
roofing system has set the standard for single-ply roof reflectivity
and the resulting energy savings. Now the term “sustainability” is
receiving a lot of attention, and once again, Duro-Last is setting the
bar.
But what does sustainability really
mean for building owners, facility managers, contractors, architects,
and other specifiers? It means that the design, construction,
maintenance, life-cycle impact, adaptive re-use, destruction, and
recycling of roofing components must help meet the long-term
environmental standards demanded by today’s high-performance buildings.
Today, these trends are creating increased
demand for a new class of high-performance roofing systems that can
satisfy traditional performance criteria – installed cost, performance
and longevity – as well as newer criteria – preservation of the
environment, energy efficiency, and life-cycle costs.
To
be considered “sustainable,” a roofing system must meet the Five E’s of
high-performance roofing: Energy, Environment, Endurance, Economics,
and Engineering. In each of these areas, the Duro-Last Cool Zone
roofing system leads the commercial roofing industry. Click on the
icons above to learn more about the Five E’s and how the Duro-Last Cool
Zone roofing system delivers on the multiple demands of
high-performance roofing.
