Q. Who should be interested in this product?
A. Property owners, financial executives, facility managers, building management firms, and anyone else looking to reduce electricity expenses, extend roof life up to 10 years, and lower roof maintenance costs.

Q. What is the product’s potential cost savings?
A. Intellicoat’s product reduces a building’s cooling system energy costs up to 50%, and cuts demand charges by as much as 30% during peak load periods when energy rates are the highest.

Q. How is Intellicoat’s reflectivity different from other roofing materials?
A. Reflectivity is a measure of how much of the sun’s energy is reflected from a roof, and thus unable to be converted into heat. Unlike conventional roofing materials (including light surface technology and metal roofs that have reflectivity as low as 10% or 20%), Intellicoat has the capacity to reflect 90% of the sun’s UV rays. The standard reflectivity required for U.S. DOE Energy-Star compliant roof coatings is 65%.

Q. I understand what you mean by reflectivity, but what is emissivity?
A. Emissivity is a measure of how quickly non-reflected energy is emitted back into the environment. The higher the emissivity the faster energy is released back into the environment, and thereby not available to be converted into heat. The Intellicoat product delivers an emissivity of 90%.

Q. Will Intellicoat ’s coating negatively impact my roof warranty?
A. To the contrary, Intellicoat ensures that our coating will not compromise any existing roof warranty. In fact, our coating actually improves the performance and extends the life of your roof.

Q. What are the variables that will affect my energy coat savings?
A. The following are variable that will affect cost savings:

• Local utility rates (kW/hr)
• Peak load demand charges (kW)
• Roof area vs. building volume
• Local climate (the number of days when cooling is required)
• Age and type of roof
• Air conditioning system efficiency
• The amount and quality of roof insulation

Q. What is the average payback time?

A. Each building is different, but average paybacks for our installations are within two to five years.

Q. Do utilities offer rebates for installing Intellicoat’s coating?
A. Yes, many electric utilities offer rebates programs to building owners who install energy-efficient upgrade products – including the Intellicoat product -- that reduce loads, specifically during peak demand periods. These programs may include cash rebates, direct assistance, and low-interest loans that can defray the cost of the investment.
