June 11, 2008 Eco-Therm® Colored Cool Roof Coating Used To Help CA School Achieve LEED Platinum Certification The Ultimate Coatings Company (Gardnerville, NV) is proud to announce Eco-Therm® 2500 Elastomeric, its third generation low slope, cool roof topcoat in solar-reflective, color Beige has been used to help the Salmon Creek Falls School Environmental Center (Occidental, CA), become the first LEED Platinum Certified public school building in California. Eco-Therm®, a CRRC® listed cool roof coating, held a key place in helping the Harmony School District achieve the top LEED standard, especially because it could also be made in highly solar reflective colors other than white and still meet initial rating of over 70 % or better Total Solar Reflectance (.70 TSR). Eco-Therm® in color Beige tests at 72% TSR, with ultra-low 50 g/L.VOC. For the school, both the solar reflectance, color, and low-VOC rating of the cool coating provided the Center with three LEED Credit points. Persinger Architects (Sebastopol) made the analysis of the cool roof product system and assured the Salmon Creek Falls Environmental Center's Project Director, Victoria Johnston, that it had the ability to meet the School's requirements. The ability of Eco-Therm® to help meet their goals and to provide a durabible, high tensile, highly solar-reflective coating over the fluid applied, asphaltic Wetsuit® system helped to seal the deal. Eco-Therm® meets LEED Credit, Energy Star®, and regional utilities cool roof rebate requirements. Eco-Therm® 2500 Elastomeric is made with 100% top acrylic with intrinsic, infrared
reflective, mixed-metal oxide pigment technology used for its high solar reflectivity. It is suitable
for many cool roof topcoat applications upon curved and metal roofs. Eco-Therm® will be
especially useful for roofs that are visible from other dwellings where color white would reflect
too much glare at surrounding buildings.
May 2, 2008 The Ultimate Coatings Company announces Eco-Therm® 2500 Elastomeric, its energy efficient, flat/low slope “cool roof” coating, is now CRRC listed and available in solar-reflective Grey and Beige. These two colors exceed the 70 % Total Solar Reflectance standard (.70 TSR) and meet LEED Credit and regional cool roof rebate requirements. Aged roof data shows that Eco-Therm® 2500 Elastomeric coating changes only 1% in efficiency (CRRC 3- year) in White. Eco-Therm® 2500 Elastomeric utilizes 100% top acrylic with infrared reflective, MMO pigment technology for its high energy efficiency. It is suitable for many flat and low slope, cool roof topcoat applications most especially where roofs are visible from above by neighboring dwellings since they will not reflect with as much glare as the color white. Availability of these high performance colors will also be advantageous where roofs are visible from the street level and allows greater flexibility in environmental construction design. Contact:
