Have you heard? 🗣️ We’re on LinkedIn! Head over there now to answer our latest round of #PVCRoofing#Trivia and be sure to follow us for more: https://t.co/kxmRfaSgMw
The @uiowa Carver-Hawkeye Arena needed a #durable roof with watertight abilities that could withstand harsh weather conditions. Hear why a veteran roofing consultant chose #PVC for the task: https://t.co/gbET22pPBd
The Chemical Fabrics & Film Association (@ReflectiveRoofs) touts PVC's "inherent advantage over many other roofing materials when it comes to recycling."

How does a #CoolRoof reduce a building’s temperature? To learn more, read the following @MDPIOpenAccess article about the field experiment conducted in Seoul, Korea: https://t.co/Ku1ev8im3o
In 2021, our members recycled 20.5 MILLION pounds of pre-consumer #PVC roofing materials! For more information regarding the #recyclability of PVC roofs, click here: https://t.co/lU9Di6pGmW
Research in #Baltimore found that the citywide adoption of smart surfaces, such as #CoolRoofs, would cool downtown by 5-8 degrees, while saving the city 13 BILLION dollars! Fascinating, right? Watch the TEDx Talk to learn more: https://t.co/9U6z9iyn7n
Reduce #UrbanHeatIslands with a #CoolRoof. #PVC roofs can reflect at least 75% of the sun's rays and emit 70% or more of solar radiation—minimizing smog, greenhouse gases, and other air pollutants. For more information, click here: https://t.co/0W2urP8D2u
#PVC roofs' heat-welded seams are one of many factors contributing to their #durability. Stronger than the #roofing membrane itself, these seams create a long-lasting, watertight bond. Learn more here: https://t.co/0EKlkLXCHI
The economic and societal impact of extreme heat around the globe has been quantified by new research. Read @ArshtRock’s article to learn the key takeaways from cities already enduring the effects: https://t.co/DFocmgQn0H

During the day, #UrbanCenters on average are 2 to 5 degrees warmer than the surrounding areas. The temperature difference on a clear night can reach 22 degrees! Learn how #PVC roofs can help this degree variance: https://t.co/Los3RP7iwV
When the 6-year-old TPO roof was pushed to its limits and in need of replacement, #PVC was the answer. Learn how PVC’s #durability and performance readied a plant for the next 30 years.

Remember, peak demand is not just a warm climate problem. A recent study suggests that hotter cities like Phoenix and cooler cities like Minneapolis have similar peak demand savings with #CoolRoofs.
Ready to expand your #CoolRoof knowledge? Take our course and learn how to analyze peak #Energy demand management strategies, identify peak demand charges on an electric bill, estimate potential #Savings, and more. Sign up here: https://t.co/HCDZyZv2ZT
#FunFactFriday: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates that if 80% of American air-conditioned spaces installed #CoolRoofs, there could be an annual #CO2 reduction of 6.23 megatons. That’s equivalent to offsetting the CO2 emitted by 1.2 million cars!
All building materials have an environmental footprint. The long service life of #PVC roofing membranes — combined with #Recyclability, #EnergyEfficient characteristics, and #Sustainable features — are continuously reducing that footprint.
