Metl-Span's CFR roof panels in Polar White are Energy Star approved.  The initial solar reflectance is .70 and the solar reflectance after 2-years is .67.

Metl-Span’s CFR roof panels with an unpainted, acrylic coated Galvalume® exterior skin are Energy Star approved. The initial solar reflectance is .79 and the solar reflectance after 3-years is .51.

Why choose ENERGY STAR® reflective roofing for your building?

ENERGY STAR® labeled roof products can help save money and the environment by reducing energy use. They work by reflecting more of the sun's energy back into the atmosphere, keeping the building cooler and reducing air conditioning bills.

Because much of the United State's electricity that is generated by burning fossil fuels creates air pollution, reducing the amount of energy needed to cool buildings helps to reduce the production of air pollutants.

How does roof insulation relate to ENERGY STAR® labeled roof products?

The ENERGY STAR® energy-efficiency criteria do not include a specification
for roof insulation. However, in addition to reflectivity, roof insulation
(measured by the R-value) plays an important role in building energy
consumption for heating and cooling.
