ASV — The unique design of the Metro panels allows them to be installed Batten-Less or as a Batten-System, both methods create an approximate average air-space beneath the panels and “Above the Roof Deck” that provides energy efficiency equal to Energy Star reflectance levels irrelevant of the color. Review the detailed 12-month+ study performed by DOE (Department of Energy) - ORNL (Oakridge National Laboratory) that explains this performance.

What to Look for in Green Building Materials:

When choosing roofing materials, here are a few questions to ask (and get answered) before you buy:

• How will the roofing material contribute to energy savings?
• What are the life cycle costs of this roof?
• Is the roof made from renewable, recycled or recyclable materials?
• How durable is the roof? How long will it last?
• What are the fire and wind resistance ratings for this roof?
