Super Therm®: Field Testing Data
A strong coating is one that will perform well in both laboratory testing and field-testing. Provided are examples on how Super Therm® has worked for companies around the world.
Sony Energy Corporation-Japan
The roofs of a 435,000 square foot manufacturing facility and office were coated with Super Therm®. The cost was paid back in energy savings in only 13 months.
Florida Energy Office- United States
Application of Super Therm® on a residential roof indicated the solar heat gain was reduced by 20-30% in February in the State of Florida. Estimated return on investment was 2.2 years. Study performed by Florida Energy Specialists.
Performance in Japan
