Apps

Cool Roof App

Now available for the iPad: A new app recently launched by APV Engineered Coatings for the APV eCoolRoof with Kynar Aquatec roof coating system.

Called APV eCoolRoof, the app, designed to educate and inform at the click of a button, offers layers of easy-to-find information on the APV eCoolRoof product, including:

  • Introduction to APV eCoolRoof: product background with basic definitions of the two products within the eCoolRoof system, product warranty, expected lifespan, Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) standards, product features and eco-friendly benefits and commercial applications;
  • Environmental specifics on conservation, sustainability and aesthetics;
  • Cost saving details;
  • Life cycle analysis graphics;
  • Web site links; and
  • Case Studies: in-depth descriptions about specific projects and products used, before and after photos, end results and client testimonials.

Most importantly, the app functions as a Savings Calculator, which allows building owners, architects and industrial designers to calculate their potential energy savings with APV eCoolRoof versus a roof coated with a conventional elastomeric acrylic coating. To operate the calculator, users enter their state and size of roof in square feet. With that information, the user then receives the yearly cooling energy savings (in kWatts) over three years, the yearly cost savings over three years, the reduction in CO2 emissions over three years and the life cycle cost over 20 years.

The new eCoolRoof app is available for iPhone, iPod Touch (any generation) and the iPad (any generation). www.apvcoatings.com
