The roof of many industrial halls, premises, schools, offices or other buildings causes problems, leaks, is difficult to repair or has already reached its end. At the same time, buildings are hot in the summer, the energy efficiency of buildings should be improved and it would be nice to have self-generated electricity by installing panels. <\/p>\n

What if I told you that all of these can be solved, that the solution can be obtained significantly cheaper than a conventional roof repair, and to top it all off, if done correctly, the whole thing will be eligible for Business Finland’s energy subsidy (provided the property meets the other energy subsidy conditions). It almost sounds too good to be true. <\/p>\n

The flat roof of an industrial building has been coated with white CoolRoof. After the coating, it has been significantly cooler inside. <\/em><\/p>\n

The story of energy roof renovation begins on LinkedIn<\/h2>\n

The story of this whole thing, which we call energy roof renovation, begins last summer. I am sitting on the terrace of my house in the almost painfully hot August sun, making customer calls. I am browsing LinkedIn and an interesting contact from a person who runs a company specializing in roof coating catches my eye. I think it would go well with the panels and send a contact request to Manu from Top-Pinnoituksen. <\/p>\n

It’s not long before we find each other on the phone having a long and very enthusiastic discussion about a new type of light-reflecting coating that simultaneously cools the roof of a building, improves the building’s energy efficiency, puts an end to problems caused by roof heating and, on top of that, improves the yield of the panels.<\/p>\n

Due to the hectic late summer and autumn, we didn’t get around to deepening this collaboration a bit. During the winter, we managed to return to this whole thing. So I’d like to introduce the Energia Roof Renovation, a collaboration between Energio and Top-Pinnoiting, which combines the revolutionary CoolRoof coating and solar panels. <\/p>\n

Up to 70 degrees cooler roof in summer<\/h2>\n

At the heart of energy roof renovation is a new type of CoolRoof roof coating, which gives the roof an additional 25 years of life without dismantling the roof and, in which the roof of the building is coated to reflect up to 85% of the sunlight back, depending on the color of the coating. Reflectivity means that a significantly smaller part of the sun’s thermal energy can be absorbed by the roof. In this case, the roof heats up much less. For example: <\/p>\n
