Energy Star Roofing

Energy Star roofing is one of 40 different product categories that are covered by the Energy Star rating program. This federal program began in 1992 and has enjoyed remarkable success ever since. It started by rating energy efficient computers and monitors and expanded to other office equipment products as well as residential heating and cooling equipment.

A few years later it formed a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy, and today it rates major appliances, lighting products, home electronics, and even new homes and industrial and commercial buildings. In 2005, the federal program estimated that through its long list of energy efficiency programs, it has helped Americans save $12 billion on their utility bills. It calculates this effort has also help curb the production of greenhouse gases equivalent to what 23 million cars produce per year.

Energy Star's roofing program began in 1998 and is based around the concept of lowering the amount of heat that is absorbed through a roof. Whether you're looking to replace a roof, buy a household product or even purchase a new home, choosing Energy Star certified products will ensure you're making the environmentally conscious choice.
