"PAIR' SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
EXTENDED ROOF LIFE
EXTENDED MECHANICAL LIFE
 
The PAIR system's reduction of
roof surface temperatures from 175F+ degrees to 99F- degrees has ancillary
benefits to the roof system and roof level mechanical equipment.
 
 |
Threshold - Asphalt Thermal
Degradation - 120F degrees
|
 |
Threshold - Asphalt Thermal Shock -
140F - degrees.
|
 |
Reduced operating temperatures at
air intakes, coils and compressors.
|
While the commercial roofing market
is comprised of more than asphalt roofing, it makes up the largest percentage of
commercial applications. While it is not feasible to install a PAIR system
on every new asphalt roof system, the anticipated
increase of roof life by 25% would equal thousands of buildings the size of a
large grocery store. This would hold true for typical roof level
mechanical equipment with a standard 15 year life cycle.
RENEWABLE ENERGY -
RECLAIMED WATER
To make eCOOLogy even better, in
this world of shrinking resources, it is designed to operate with reclaimed or
recycled water. Instead of using potable water – always in short supply – the
system is designed to operate with recycled water that is currently thrown
away in staggering quantities.

On June 4, 2000, the Silicon
Valley region of Northern California suffered the first of a number of serious
electrical blackouts. Businesses were interrupted with only a few minutes
notice. Homes went dark without warning. Millions of dollars were lost in that
single day. |
 |
On that day, nearly 200 million
gallons of reclaimed water were dumped into San Francisco Bay. The area has a
“Slow the Flow” policy; seeking ways to reduce this dumping because it is
destroying the ecology of the Bay. |
 |
On that same day, if eCOOLogy
were installed on the roofs of the industrial centers of the area, 3 million
gallons of water would have been evaporated off those roofs – saving enough
electrical power to stop the blackouts. Three million gallons of water used
productively, three million gallons less water dumped into the Bay. |
