They are also considered ‘cool’ roofs, so they are recommended for people living in hot areas. It is also a known scientific fact that dark colors absorb more solar radiation than light ones. Thus, switching to a light-colored or a white metal roof will reduce energy spending by 20 percent, in addition to help make properties 50 to 60 degrees cooler, compared with properties with conventional dark-colored roofs.

Green living roofs are another eco-friendly roofing option.
