Fayez S. Sarofim Research Building

"Our calculations suggests that the installed cost of a metal system such as zinc may be twice that of a non-metal system, but you're likely to save the equivalent of twice the up front cost of a metal system just on annual maintenance and repairs over 50 years. We anticipate that this will be the case with this facility."

Howard Rogers Utility Consultants

"Our most recent project in Austin, Texas, was designed to be energy efficient. It has a high quality, light-gray coated metal roof. It also has utility bills that are 35% of what our normal construction would have yielded. We give the roofing credit for much of the savings. Based on our current success, most of the projects we have scheduled for construction will have 'cool' metal roofs."
Howard Rogers, Fredricksburg, Tex.
