Always at the forefront in industry evolution, in 1989 Alliance Roofing installed a landmark roof system on the San Jose Arena for Perini Building Company. The new building would be home to the NHL’s newest expansion team, the San Jose Sharks. The new roof system was a hypalon single-ply, white and reflective with a high thermal emittance; and, it would contain over eight inches of roof insulation. The combination of the white roof and the insulation would dramatically lower the energy costs associated with keeping the ice hockey rink at a consistent temperature. It was a predecessor to what the industry now refers to as, a Cool Roofing System.
Sustainable Roofing is a “pattern of resource use, that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met, not only in the present, but also for generations to come.” Within roofing, sustainability can be measured by various agencies (LEED, Energy Star, CRRC) and attained on many different levels.
Alliance is committed to providing customers with sustainable roofing solutions. We specialize in the installation of Cool Roofing Systems and Green Roofing Systems. However, sustainability goes beyond the roof system, for instance: Skylights, Daylighting, Insulation R-value, Photo Voltaic Systems, Gray Water Storage, Recycling of the old roof system, and shipping proximity to the new roof manufacturer, all contribute to a sustainable building.
A sustainable roof can increase a building’s marketability, giving building owners a competitive edge to attracting tenants. Sustainable roofs are energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
In fact, the best way to sustain is to maintain. Instead of purchasing a new roof, our Service Division offers maintenance solutions that can increase the longevity of your existing roof (asset).
