Duro-Last Membrane: White = GREEN
The Cool Zone roofing system is an ENERGY STAR® labeled product, with an initial reflectivity of 87.5%, based on ENERGY STAR testing criteria. Reflectivity is the percentage of the sun’s energy reflected by a surface. Another important measurement of membrane performance is emittance – the
percentage of absorbed energy that a material can radiate away. The Cool Zone system’s total emittance is measured at 95%. These reflectivity and emittance figures are among the highest in the industry.
The resulting energy savings and positive impact on reducing the urban heat island effect are just the beginning. Duro-Last has long been on the forefront with respect to producing environmentally friendly roofing systems. Read on to learn how the white Cool Zone PVC membrane is the best green choice for your facility in many ways, proving Duro-Last’s leadership on the sustainable
buildings front.

Our energy-efficient WHITE membrane will make your roof "GREEN!"
The bright white Duro-Last® Cool Zone® membrane has an established history of providing environmental benefits to commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings throughout North America.
The Duro-Last Cool Zone roofing system has an excellent environmental reputation. From lowering a building’s energy consumption to helping facilities obtain LEED® credits to reducing the urban heat island effect, the Cool Zone system is a leading sustainable building product.
• Our tightly-controlled manufacturing process ensures that scrap generated
during the manufacturing process is recycled back into roofing membrane
or other construction materials. In fact, Duro-Last recycles scrap from
numerous companies, encouraging them to join us as environmental
stewards. Plus, Duro-Last has implemented a roof recycling program for
PVC membranes that are at the end of their useful roofing lives. This keeps
waste out of landfills and reduces the need for virgin feedstock used in a
number of construction products – including new roofing membranes.
• A growing emphasis on reducing a building’s carbon “footprint” is creating
emerging carbon trading markets. A reduction in energy consumption
provided by the Cool Zone membrane may provide economic benefits for
building owners in this new arena.
• The term “sustainability” implies long-term performance, and many Duro-
Last roofs have been performing effectively for more than 20 years. The
Cool Zone roofing membrane is resistant to chemicals, fire, and high
winds, and this proven durability means that a Cool Zone roof will last
longer in harsh environments than many other systems.
• PVC, which is among the most studied building materials, is as
environmentally friendly as other building products, according to the US
Green Building Council, and may be better than some materials that have
been less scrutinized.
• The Cool Zone membrane is lightweight, so it can often be installed over
existing roofing systems, eliminating costly and landfilling tear-offs. It also
requires less fuel to transport to the job site than other, heavier materials.

GREEN: As an Environmental Responsibility

roofing system’s life-cycle costs
roofing system’s life-cycle costs
Energy costs continue to escalate with no end in sight, and this trend is largely responsible for driving a significant market shift toward energy-efficient roofing systems.
• Cool roofs are effective in virtually all climates. Building owners in some
areas have seen a 40% reduction in energy consumption during peak times
of the year after installing reflective roofing systems.
• In non-conditioned space, reflective roofing can reduce workspace heat,
improving working conditions and increasing employee productivity.
• The Cool Zone membrane reflects damaging ultraviolet and infrared rays of
the sun that are absorbed by other systems. Penetrating UV and IR rays
can degrade the effectiveness of insulation and other building components
— often leading to higher operating and maintenance costs.
• When placed on rooftops with reflective membranes, HVAC units have a
smaller “degree difference” of the air they need to cool because the
ambient temperature is lower than on dark-colored roof surfaces. This
decreases the cooling load as well as unit wear and corresponding
maintenance costs. A Cool Zone roof may also enable the use of smaller,
lower-cost HVAC units.

GREEN: As in the best system to be installed
under your rooftop garden
under your rooftop garden
A growing trend in the commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings market is turning “forgotten” roofs into usable space. Photovoltaic and paver systems are gaining a foothold in this area, as are vegetative roofs.
• All rooftop garden systems require a reliable waterproofing membrane
beneath the growing medium and plant life.
• The Cool Zone roofing system is ideal for this application. Duro-Last’s
prefabrication technology (every roof is manufactured in-house to fit
building dimensions precisely, eliminating up to 85% of rooftop seaming)
means less potential for future leaks – a major consideration when the
membrane will be covered with a rooftop garden.
• Because the Cool Zone membrane is lightweight (less than 1/3 pound per
square foot), it will only marginally add to the overall weight of the complete
vegetative roofing system, which can weigh up to 30 pounds per square foot.
• For businesses investing in rooftop gardens, the cost of the Duro-Last
component is minimal compared with that of the entire roofing assembly.
Installing a new Cool Zone system on the roof deck prior to installing the
garden system is a sensible investment.
• The Cool Zone roofing system is also solar ready — an easy-to-install,
reliable, watertight application for a variety of photovoltaic technologies.
