Consumption in Buildings
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofing significantly reduces energy
consumption in buildings, especially those with flat or low-slope
roofs. Its main energy-saving mechanism is its highly reflective,
light-colored surface, which reflects a large portion of the sun's rays
rather than absorbing heat2357.
Lower Cooling Costs: By reflecting sunlight, TPO roofs keep indoor
temperatures cooler, reducing the need for air conditioning during
hot months. This can decrease cooling energy consumption by 10–
15%, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency578.
Improved HVAC Efficiency: With less heat entering the building,
HVAC systems work less, leading to lower energy bills and reduced
strain on equipment37.
Environmental Benefits: The reduced energy demand also helps
lower the building’s carbon footprint and supports sustainability
goals148.
In summary, TPO roofing’s reflective properties directly translate to
lower energy consumption and cost savings for building owners.
