Roof Replacement Energy Savings Estimator

Enter the building and roof details below to generate a client-ready energy-savings estimate, based on roof R-value, local climate, and current utility rates.

1Project & building

Year constructed is only used if the existing insulation R-value (below) is unknown — it drives an age-based assumption. Leave it at the default, or blank, if the insulation R-value is already known.

2Existing roof

3Proposed roof

Deck is assumed retained from the existing roof.

4Solar reflectance (cool roof)

Solar reflectance is applied to BOTH roofs \u2014 the existing roof always uses its as-found (aged) value, the proposed roof uses the basis selected above. Defaults come from the membrane types selected in the previous two sections (e.g. black EPDM ≈ 0.06, white TPO ≈ 0.65 aged). Override either with a measured or CRRC-listed value when known.

5Operating schedule

Pre-filled with typical values — adjust to match the actual schedule.

Formula-driven sanity checks that the model behaves the way basic engineering intuition says it should — not a calibration against a real building or a full hourly simulation.

Calculation assumptions

This analysis is an estimate of potential energy savings based on the information provided and the assumptions listed above. Actual energy consumption and savings will vary with weather, occupancy, operating schedule, HVAC equipment condition, utility rates, and other factors. It is not a guarantee of savings and is not a substitute for a certified energy audit or a stamped engineering analysis. Roof-conduction and solar-reflectance effects only; solar data uses a regional NREL station (NYC) as a proxy and a simplified daily distribution — internal gains, thermal mass, infiltration and HVAC part-load behavior are excluded.
