Tan UltraPly TPO Membrane Meets New California Title 24 Requirements
June 22, 2009
On August 1, 2009, a new version of the California Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings (Title 24) will take effect. These standards define cool roofs in California to have a minimum three-year aged reflectance of 0.55 and a minimum thermal emittance of 0.75 for low-sloped nonresidential buildings.
Firestone is pleased to announce that Tan UltraPly TPO meets these new requirements.
UltraPly Tan TPO membrane is listed with the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC), and it has achieved an aged solar reflectance of 0.55 and an initial emittance of 0.81. These values exceed the new Title 24 requirements. The table below is from the CRRC web site and can be accessed at www.coolroofs.org.
California’s Title 24 is one of the most stringent state-legislated energy standards in the country, and providing our customers with a Tan UltraPly TPO membrane which meets these standards is another example of why Nobody Covers You Better than Firestone!
