Green roofs not only address the heat island effect but also provide many additional environmental and sustainability benefits. Not only do they provide stormwater retention, reduced water use, air pollution cleaning, etc. but also results in energy savings.
Installing heat reflective exposed waterproofing to concrete decks is another way to lessen the effects of the heat island effect. The sun’s heat is reflected, rather than absorbed, from the surface, reducing the slab temperature. Energy savings due to cooler slab temperatures are also gained.
Mackintosh Corporation offers these sustainable solutions and many others.
The installation of exposed Sika Sarnafil fully adhered PVC membrane to roofs and decks is an ideal base for the installation of solar panels without waterproofing penetration using Sika Uni-Anchors or Sika Uni-Base as mounting supports for the solar panels.
