EPDM Roof Adds Energy Efficiency
HEATING REDUCTION IS KEY
In central and northern states, heating accounts for a significantly larger percentage of total-building energy consumption than air conditioning. So, reducing heating consumption is more critical to energy savings than reducing air conditioning usage, especially in cooler climates where heating degree days (HDD) outnumber cooling degree days (CDD).

THAT LEAK COULD ACTUALLY BE CONDENSATION
In cooler climates, reflective roofing materials may not get warm enough during the day, which can promote moisture accumulation within certain roof assemblies. What appears to be a faulty roofing material may actually be condensation forming inside your building. A combination of Carlisle’s EPDM and properly designed and installed insulation can help counteract the forces that lead to condensation-related leakage.
