    Energy Savings

The Department of Energy has conducted research at their Oak Ridge National Laboratory (see below) that confirms that NuCedar siding and trim can generate significant energy savings. NuCedar products feature the same durable, ceramic-based pigments in their coatings that have been used by leading roofing manufacturers to produce Energy Star® rated “cool roof” products.

This low VOC coating from Sherwin-Williams® (i.e., Polane® Solar Reflective Polyurethane), represents a breakthrough in the continuing evolution of the ‘cool technologies’ for the building industry.

     
   

Model Generalizations

IR reflective coating on CMU walls shows larger savings of cooling energy. Savings are 6% to 13% compared to cooling energy with non-IR reflecting walls.
