Energy Efficiency in the Desert | Ask The Experts Forum

Suzy Sturm 7/27/2010	I am wanting to make an offer on a house that has $400 plus a month utility bills. The house has a lot of roof area, pitch is about 2 1/2 with alsphalt shingles and very little ventilation. I would like it to be as energy efficient as possible. What would be best roofing material and best way to ventilate?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/15002/find/
Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 7/27/2010	Suzy, AZ is certainly a candidate for several things from a roofing and energy efficiency standpoint...asphalt being at the bottom of list. Some more details on the construction of the home (attic vs. insulated roof) would help.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/15003/find/
Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 8/1/2010	Only certain metal roofs are suitable for that low pitch, primarily many standing seam options. I would suggest eave soffit vents and a ridge vent provided the manufacturer approves ridge vent on that pitch.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/15004/find/
