About Kiowa County Commons
The Challenge
The town passed a resolution stating that all future municipal buildings of more than 4,000 square feet would be built to meet the U.S. Green Building Council’s prestigious LEED® Platinum designation.
The Solution
Roofing components included a vegetative roof system using native vegetation and roof-mounted photovoltaic cells to serve as a renewable energy component by providing electrical power from solar generation. EverGuard Extreme® TPO was selected to be used beneath the Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) system at Kiowa County Commons; BIPV can create temperatures as high as 190°F on adjacent roofing surfaces. EverGuard Extreme® uses proprietary stabilizers and UV absorbers to achieve weathering performance far beyond ASTM standards. EverGuard Extreme® TPO can be used to comply with Title 24 roofing product requirements and contributes to LEED V4 credit. The reflectivity on EverGuard Extreme® TPO is even higher than the standard GAF white TPO sheet, improving what has already proven to be a "cool- roofing" product.
“We’ve had such great feedback in the Greensburg community about this product that another local architect plans to specify it for another building.”
