ROOFING & INSULATION

Country Manor Shake Roof
- Federal Tax Credit
- Energy Star

Reduce the amount of heat that enters you home from the outside in by as much as 100 degrees with the right roof. Aluminum Shake Roofing’s Country Manor Shake roof is made from aluminum, a permanently rust-free metal, specially treated with a pigment to reflect light and heat. The roof comes in several shades and textures, and even the darkest colors reflect 95 percent of all radiant heat. Aluminum Shake Roofing also uses FoamGuard, a patented expanded polystyrene “free-floating” foam between the roof panels and roof deck for added insulation, keeping your home even cooler.

SolarGuard

Adding adequate insulation is one of the most cost-effective home improvements that you can make, so picking the proper insulation is key. SolarGuard, available from Island Cooling Concepts, is a revolutionary reflective insulation product that protects the home by reflecting up to 97 percent of radiant heat. It protects against all the three main types of heat loss and gain: convection, conduction and radiation. The materials used in SolarGuard offer great thermal performance to reduce heat gain and improve comfort. Plus, it’s lightweight and easy to install and it reduces overall energy consumption.

EcoBatt
- Federal Tax Credit

Several brands now offer eco-friendly insulation options. EcoBatt, available from Admor HVAC, is made of sand, one of the world’s most abundant and renewable resources, post-consumer recycled glass bottles and a sustainable binder called ECOSE Technology. ECOSE does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors, making it a great option for natural thermal efficiency.

Oregon Shepherd Natural Wool Insulation
- Federal Tax Credit

Available from Green Builder’s Depot, Oregon Shepherd Natural Wool Insulation is made from 100-percent-natural, recycled sheep's wool, which has been bonded together with a nontoxic acrylic resin using a patented spray bonding process. Use it in exactly the same way as traditional insulation products for excellent cooling properties of walls, floors, ceilings and roofs.
 

WINDOWS & SHUTTERS

Windows are a main source of temperature loss in the home. Upgrading your home’s old windows or doors with new energy-efficient ones keeps hot air out, cool air in and lowers your energy bills.
