Do Custom-Bilt Cool Roof products provide energy credits toward LEED certification and other programs?

Yes. A cool metal roof will contribute to points in credits where recycled content, recyclability, energy optimization, and water collection properties are included in a whole-building, weighted-average approach. For example, a cool, prepainted metal roof can qualify for one point in Credit 7.2 of the LEED Sustainable Sites category if it covers at least 75 percent of the roof surface area and meets certain criteria for Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) values.
