by Brianna Crandall — March 14, 2016—The Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association (RCMA) recently made its Reflective Roof Rebates Database, originally created exclusively for use by RCMA members, available to the general public.
The RCMA site lists the benefits of reflective roof coatings, including the following:
Roof coatings are applied to low slope roofs on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to extend the life of a roof by preventing water, chemical, or physical damage, which saves money for the building owner. Certain roof coatings even provide an extra level of waterproofing protection to help shed water to keep building interiors dry. Also, roof coatings are the most effective and least costly option to help buildings save energy.
The Reflective Roof Rebates Database was enhanced in 2014 with increased functionality for searching available reflective roof incentives across the country.
The database has since been further enhanced to include steep-slope roofs and to increase the frequency of updates for California, Florida and Texas. These three states are now updated on a monthly basis, while all other states are updated every three months.
The Reflective Roof Rebates Database includes a comprehensive list of rebates, loans, grants, and tax credits pertaining to reflective roof coatings applied to low-slope and steep-slope roofs.
The database covers all of the United States, including state, local, and utility company rebate programs, and uses a customized search tool to find the most up-to-date listings available for installing reflective roofs.
The search tool also offers filtered results by energy rebates, reflective roof rebates, or all available rebates within a specific state or ZIP code.
Additional information is available within the database, which includes detailed information on each of the available incentive programs including eligibility, links to supporting documents, key program contacts, and online applications to apply for rebates.
There is also a view print option that allows users to easily review the available information in a ready-to-share format.
The RCMA Reflective Roof Rebates Database is available on the RCMA Web site after entering the user’s name, company name, and e-mail.
