The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious- Ted Levitt, Noted American Economist.
Investment is defined as the commitment of current financial resources in order to achieve higher gains in the future. This rings true even in case of investing in cool roof coatings. According to Grandview Research, the global cool roof coatings market size was valued at $4.03 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a compounded annual rate of 7.2% from 2022 to 2030. The growth is primarily attributed to the energy savings offered by this product and rising temperatures with each year surpassing its preceding year’s record. A cool roof on an air conditioned building can save energy and reduce power plant emissions of greenhouse gases like CO2, SO2 and NOx, while a cool roof on an unconditioned building can lower indoor air temperatures and thermal comfort. One of the studies based in Hyderabad in 2011 demonstrated that with the projected annual increase of new roof construction in the next decade, annual cooling energy savings due to solar roof coatings on concrete roofs would be 13-14 Gigawatt hours and cumulative cooling energy savings would be of 73-80 gigawatt hours.Dr Konpacki and Akbari’s estimations suggest energy savings of 3.6 kWh/1000 sq ft could be achieved in large retail stores in Austin,Texas using cool roof coatings. Dr Parker’s estimates showed similar results for industrial units in Florida.
The reduced energy demands will in turn lead to less use of fossil fuels in electricity generation. One of the studies in Houston estimated that there is a possibility of CO2 reduction by 6-7% from reduced energy use in buildings.
Thus, it’s clear from these studies that cool roofs have many direct and indirect savings options almost everywhere- from residential complexes to industrial units.
How can LuminX achieve the above?
Energy efficiency of buildings: Its high SRI value ensures that it reflects the maximum amount of heat. Its unique formulation forms a strong chemical bond with the surface and offers complete protection with a promise to keep the building roof cool by up to 40% reduction in the roof temperature. The Solar reflective coating can be applied on a variety of installations ranging from residential homes to manufacturing industries, from sheds to public buildings in countering oppressive heat.
Extending lifespan of buildings: LuminX is made up of high reflective and high emissive materials which ensures no heat is absorbed into the roofs, thus keep it always cooler and prevent any kind of heat stress into the roofing and it’s advance nano technology ensure dirt resistant, waterproof the roofing structures for a longer life.
Reduced maintenance costs: LuminX has an average lifespan of 5 years, requires no maintenance and is easily washable , striving to add more value to customers for every penny spent. Product is resistant to dirt pickup, has crack bridging properties.
Environment friendly: LuminX is tested as per ASTM and EN standards , certified by GRIHA council on meeting the specified norms. GRIHA is India’s national rating system for energy efficiency. The effect of the atmospheric temperature reduction in the case of 1 sqm of solar heat reflective paint applied is equivalent to 35 kgs of CO2 reduced. Thus making it a global warming countermeasure.
Quick and easy installation: LuminX requires no additional solvent, just water. It can be easily applied by oneself without requiring much expertise and has a Do it yourself ( DIY) feature.
