(We use clear acrylic coated Galvalume for all of our “unpainted” Galvalume.) We also have Energy Star approval on many of our standard colors for both our Architectural and our Wood Frame product offerings. Attached are summary pages showing all of our standard colors and several non-standard colors, the initial and aged reflectivity values and the initial emissivity values. There is no Emissivity requirement in the Energy Star program, but it must be reported. Emissivity is a requirement of several other programs, such as the LEED program. The emissivity values for our Energy Star approved colors have now been tested by the LEED required ASTM E408 test method. (LEED is addressed in Technical Bulletin 726)  \nThe Energy Star program is an EPA program that is promoting highly reflective roofs. The theory is that roofs that reflect most of the solar energy will stay cooler and require less electricity for air conditioning. This, in turn, reduced the amount of electricity that must be produced, which reduces the amount of pollutants discharged into the air at the power plants. This is good for the environment and that's why the EPA is pushing it. Several states are beginning to mandate energy saving construction products, like this one. Notably, California and New York are leading the way. Other states will be following close behind. Architects are also asking about these issues and specifying energy efficient products. This issue and recyclability are becoming more important every day.(Recyclability is addressed in Technical Bulletin 725.)  \nThe IRS home owner energy credit has been extended for 2009 and 2010. That means, homeowners that purchase a Fabral painted, ENERGY STAR certified metal roof from Jan. 1, 2009 through Dec. 31, 2010 will qualify for a tax credit of up to $1,500. This credit is 30% of the material cost and applies to residential re-roofing projects that use painted metal roofing that meets the Energy Star requirements, up to the $1,500 credit. The credit does not apply to the installation costs; just the cost of the metal roofing material. Use IRS tax form 5695 for this credit. A copy ofFabral’s “Manufacturer’s Certification Statement”letter should be given to the homeowner for his tax files. It does not need to be submitted with the tax forms but should be kept with his tax records. Please note that even though unpainted Galvalume is Energy Star approved, it is not eligible for the IRS tax credit. The material must be painted to qualify for the credit. Please note that we have revised our residential standing seam colors with special pigments, and are phasing in our Grandrib 3 colors, yet, so the tax credit for some colors only applies to the standing seam panels.  \nIn order to qualify for Energy Star approval as a low slope roof product (2:12 pitch or less) the product must have an initial reflectance of 0.65 or higher and a reflectance of 0.50 or higher after 3 years. In order to qualify for Energy Star approval as a steep slope roof product (greater than 2:12 pitch) the product must have an initial reflectance of 0.25 or higher and a reflectance of 0.15 or higher after 3 years. The Galvalume producers ran the extensive series oftests on bare Galvalume to qualify for both the low and steep slope requirements. They have distributed this test report to anyone that wishes to get approval.  \nM:\\Communication (bulletins, monthly emails, etc.)\\Bulletins\\Engineering\\Tech Bulletins for Website\\TB724 EnergyStar approval.doc  \n\n| \u003Cbr>Technical Bulletin | No | 724 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Page | 2 of 6 |\n|  | Date | 09/01/10 |\n\nFabral also has approval for many of our standard and special colors, which are shown on the attached lists.
