Cool Roofs
ENERGY STAR Labeled pre painted metal roofs can qualify for the $500 tax credit. A cool roof is one that reflects the sun’s heat and emits absorbed radiation back into the atmosphere. The roof literally stays cooler and reduces the amount of heat transferred to the building below, keeping the building a cooler and more constant temperature.
