Request a Satellite Estimate &Submit your Application Without SIGNING ANYTHING.
Have Your Eco Grant Approved with our FREE ESTIMATE
A provisional satellite estimate that is considered 99% accurate can be provided for your property as long as it is visible on Google Earth.
We will do a a satellite take off and provide you with a cool roof estimate which must be confirmed with an onsite roof inspection once you are approved for your new eco metal roof by the City of Toronto.
Estimate includes projected energy savings based on your homes footprint and use of HVAC system for Summer cooling.

The Science Behind ASV Vented Roofing Systems
The contents of report below provide credible and compelling evidence of the benefits provided by roof assemblies fitted with above-sheathing ventilation in each of the ASHRAE climate zones. Results can be peer reviewed and the data used to help convince local, provincial and federal code officials to adopt prescriptive requirements for above-sheathing ventilation.
Specifically, the inclusion of an air space ≥ 1.0 in. (0.0254 m) in stone-coated and offset mounted metal roofs should be classified as a cool roof because their annual cooling loads are less than that for a 2008 Title 24 or for the EPA’s Energy Star cool roof. The field data confirms that an open air space above the sheathing is an excellent design strategy for reducing roof heat gains and losses. It improves the durability of the roof assembly because the natural convection ventilation drys the deck of moisture. It also affords the roof protection from wildfires common in wildlife urban environment interfaces. The thermally induced bouyant flow increases as the metal’s temperature increases. Therefore intense heat is not directly conducted through the metal into the roof deck and ignition is delayed if not eliminated from the system.
An ASV vented roof additionally provides WINTER ENERGY savings when solar reflectance is negated by snow loading.
