Painting your roofing with a special white coating to repel the heat is a major step that homeowners can take to reduce their energy use and costs. Thermoshield is a high tech coating developed by NASA to reflect heat and sunlight, reducing temperatures within buildings by up to 45%.

This means that less air conditioning is required to cool buildings during the warmer months. That's good for the environment and your electric bill. Thermoshield has additional benefits, including slowing the aging of your roof and lowering maintenance expenses. This solution has been popular with industrial companies such as Vital Health Foods in South Africa. The health foods manufacturer has taken other eco friendly steps like replacing all of their factory light with LEDs and installing solar energy systems as well.
