8 Steps to a Big Green Zero
2. Big Green Zero Elastomeric Wall Coatings
An important and relatively inexpensive step toward scoring a Big Green Zero is repainting with heat barrier Big Green Zero Elastomeric Wall Coatings.
From an energy saving standpoint, the most important thing about these wall coatings is that they "fool" sun drenched building surfaces into thinking that they are, on average, 30 degrees cooler.
From a health perspective, our elastomeric wall coatings contain
no volatile organic compounds (VOC's). That is important because
VOC's are organic chemical compounds that continue to vaporize under
normal conditions. And, as they vaporize they enter the air that is
breathed by a building's inhabitants.
Volatile organic compounds are numerous and varied. They are found
almost everywhere in nature and in modern industrial society. And, unfortunately,
many are toxic.
In addition to their cooling and healthful qualities, elastomeric
wall coatings:
- Resist cracking and require less maintenance.
- Are made from recycled material and, in
commercial applications, they earn LEED
points.
- Are available in almost any paint color.
Utilizing Big Green Zero Elastomeric Wall Coatings can reduce the number and expenses of solar panels that will go up on the roof.
