White/Reflective Roofs

• Building Owners Spend 40 Billion Each Year on
  Air Conditioning.
• White Roofs Require 40 Less Energy for Cooling
  Than Dark Roofs.
• White Roofs can Reduce Peak Cooling Demand by
  10-15 Percent.
• On a Typical 90 Day
• White Coated Roof 110
• Aluminum Coated Roof 140

Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Materials

• Since 1990, the Photovoltaics Industry as a Whole
  Has Seen Sales Volume Grow by More Than 20 Each
  Successive Year, With Some Years Having 45
  Growth.
• Since 1992, Manufacturing Costs for Photovoltaics
  Have Dropped by More Than 30.
• By 2010, Costs are Predicted to Drop Another 50.
• The Average Cost of Photovoltaic Modules Through
  a Distributor is Between 5-12 per Watt or
  Between 25-40 Per Square Foot.
• Efficiencies are Currently Between 8-18 and are
  Expected to Increase to 15-25.
