1 Energy Star and the Energy Star certification mark are registered US marks. Reflective Roofing With a Longer Life
2 Committed & Responsible As an industrial manufacturer, Sarnafil has a long history of producing high-quality roofing materials that deliver superior performance. With over 40 years experience, Sarnafil's roofing systems are recognized for their ability to withstand the test of time. Sarnafil pioneered the fields of formulation, production, and application of thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing membranes. Our solutions are successful and we service our partners by providing beneficial support in the form of comprehensive design review and technical advice during construction. Reliability Among all modern building components, roofing systems have a particularly important function. With so much relying on dependable protection from harsh weather, there is no room for experimental roofing materials when designing projects. Sarnafil roofing systems are engineered to withstand extreme environmental exposure and to have long-lasting service lives. Sarnafil provides comprehensive warrantees on the performance of our materials and systems. Ecology At Sarnafil, we are committed to our responsibility to protect the environment. Our ecological mission statement is based on sound principals; we strive to protect our natural resources, to reduce the risk of pollution, and to avoid irreversible impairment of the earth's capacity for natural regeneration. In fact, national research has shown that Sarnafil's EnergySmart Roof can reduce energy consumption, abate urban heat, and help to slow the reaction of smog forming pollutants. Innovation As the industry leader in thermoplastic membrane technology, Sarnafil responds to the changing needs of our industry and of our society through advanced product development and innovation. In 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) announced a formal campaign to publicly promote the use of highly reflective roofing products. This energy conservation campaign is also a pre-emptive initiative designed to abate urban heat and reduce air pollution. In light of this environmental priority, Sarnafil's EnergySmart Roof is quickly gaining recognition as a major breakthrough. Sarnafil delivers the highest levels of solar reflectance in a unique roofing membrane that can point to a 40-year history of proven durability. Partnerships Building owners, designers, and roofing contractors alike can depend on Sarnafil to provide the industry's best solutions to their roofing needs. Sarnafil's hot air welded thermoplastic membrane systems are adhered, mechanically attached, and ballasted. These unrivaled membranes can provide the right solution for specific applications regardless of building usage, slope, configuration, height, wind exposure, or location. Sarnafil professionals are available to meet and discuss individual projects, system design, and/or application as needed. Our success and reputation, as well as that of the construction team depend upon a commitment to the proper design and installation of the roofing system.
3 Air Quality Dark colored roofs absorb a tremendous amount of solar radiation and become extremely hot. These hot roof surfaces are being targeted because they are unnecessary sources of heat that contribute to elevated air temperatures. In most geographic areas, an air temperature increase translates into an air quality decrease. Highly reflective roofs diminish this condition and have recently been identified as the environmentally preferable roofing solution. Sarnafil's EnergySmart Roof is designed to help alleviate oppressive urban air temperatures, which will in turn slow the reaction of smog forming pollutants. Sarnafil Inc. is a Charter Partner in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR Roof Products Program. The Program is a voluntary partnership between EPA and a select group of roof product manufacturers and is focused on promoting the environmental and economic benefits of reflective roofing. EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy created ENERGY STAR label programs to help consumers quickly and easily identify products that can save them money and protect the environment by saving energy. Sarnafil Inc. is also a Charter Business Partner in the U.S. Department of Energy's Rebuild America Program. Rebuild America is a network of more that 400 community partnerships that align the interests of local and state governments, schools, universities, housing agencies and private businesses. As a Business Partner, Sarnafil provides technical assistance and support to community partnerships that are interested in roofing programs featuring the highly reflective EnergySmart Roof. The EnergySmart Roof was analyzed by researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This highly reflective, white roofing membrane was found to have an initial solar reflectance of 83% and a corresponding thermal emissivity of 92%. In combination, the reflective and emissive performance values were used to calculate a Solar Reflective Index (SRI). Sarnafil's EnergySmart Roof has a SRI of 104. This is particularly significant because the SRI was designed to measure the relative reflective and emissive performance properties of roofing surfaces on a scale of A universal proliferation of highly reflective roofing surfaces is recommended by both the scientific and environmental communities. This is a practical course of action designed to help mitigate systematic increases in urban air temperature and to help improve air quality. Graphic Courtesy of U. S. Department of Energy/LBNL
4 Reducing Energy Costs...North and South About half of the U.S. population lives in micro-environments called urban heat islands. While reflective roofing is particularly effective at reducing air conditioning expenses in hotter cities like Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, this efficient technology can also yield net energy savings in northern climates such as New York City and Chicago. According to scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), the potential for significant energy, comfort, and pollution savings from highly reflective roofing systems is not limited to southern states.
5 NASA Research In July of 1998, two NASA scientists, Dr. Jeff Luvall and Dr. Dale Quattrochi, from Marshal Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their mission was to conduct research on surfaces that exacerbate oppressive urban air temperatures and accelerate the formation of smog. The NASA team used a specially equipped airplane to record photographic and thermal infrared images in order to detect all the "hot spots" in the city. As predicted by earlier research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, an abundant supply of darkcolored roof surfaces was shown to be absorbing solar radiation and inadvertently intensifying urban heat. The RC Willey Intermountain Distribution Center (pictured above) is protected by an industrial single-ply roofing material manufactured by Sarnafil Inc. In contrast to buildings with dark colored roofs, the large RC Willey facility was almost undetectable to NASA's heat-sensing instrumentation due to the characteristics of its light-colored roofing system. (See Images Below) The physical and reflective properties of the roofing membrane on the RC Willey warehouse have become the focus of national attention. This roof illustrates the specific cooling impact that reflective roofs can have in reducing air temperatures within urban heat islands. Based on modern research and sound engineering practice, roofing products should now be selected on the dual basis of life cycle performance and air quality impact. For more than three decades, Sarnafil has gained unparalleled expertise in manufacturing light-colored roofing membranes. A unique manufacturing process and the basic membrane formulation has remained the same because Sarnafil's roofing solutions work. Sarnafil roofs are now being recognized in the national media for their ability to help moderate energy demand, reduce urban air temperature and decelerate smog formation. Sarnafil has the performance history to justify the accolades directed toward the superior weatherproofing and surface temperature characteristics of its roofing systems. *High altitude photography and thermal imagery courtesy of NASA's Global Hydrology and Climate Center. The white rectangular object encircled above is the photographic image of the highly reflective Sarnafil roof on The R.C. Willey Building. *The corresponding thermal image verifies that the roof on the RC Willey building is not a source of excessive urban heat.
