Energy Conservation EGLIN AFB Cool Roof Upgrades
Project Description:
CYE was awarded the project to install energy conservation roofing systems on four buildings at Eglin Air Force Base. The McKinley Climatic Laboratory Testing Facility included in this contract is a historic structure and required special treatment. CYE worked alongside the base and the State of Florida’s Historic Resources Department in picking a material that was appropriate for the structure.
All of the roofs were treated with a sprayed polyurethane foam roofing system. This system provides a monolithic waterproofing and insulating barrier. The roofs were then applied a sun reflective coating. Both applications work together to maintain a lower roof temperature that dramatically reduces the heat transfer into the structure.
