Benchmark Canlon | Besides its own superior quality, can a good roof enhance the value of a building?

Commercial and industrial roofing system solutions have evolved from simple to sophisticated, and from single-function to all-encompassing. The core requirements they can meet are no longer limited to waterproofing, corrosion protection, fireproofing, moisture protection, and thermal insulation. Mature roofing systems can also meet high-level requirements for photovoltaic installation, wind uplift resistance, extreme cold resistance, and even acid rain and salt and alkali resistance.

But have you ever considered that a good roofing system can offer more than just its performance in terms of intangible value? In this era that values "emotional value," can we homeowners expect more?

Sure, my friend! Canlon will now share with you how a high-quality roofing system solution can enhance the overall value of a building!

1. Strong support from LEED certification

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is the world's most widely used green building assessment system, comprehensively evaluating a building's environmental performance across six dimensions: sustainable site, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovative design. According to data from the U.S. Green Building Council, buildings employing high-performance waterproofing systems can, on average, earn 8-12 extra points in the "Energy and Atmosphere" and "Materials and Resources" categories in the LEED assessment, representing more than 10% of the total score requirement.

By the end of 2023, China had accumulated more than 7,000 LEED-certified projects, with applications expanding from office buildings to various building types such as retail, hotels, warehousing and logistics, and data centers. It is an important tool for promoting the sustainable development of the construction industry and helping to achieve the "dual carbon" goals.

Canlon TPO/PVC waterproof membrane is certified by the Cool Roofing Rating Council (CRRC) in the United States, demonstrating excellent performance in solar reflectivity. CRRC certification data can be directly used as a scoring basis for the "Energy Efficiency Optimization" sub-category in LEED certification, helping building projects obtain green building ratings more efficiently. The white TPO membrane has a solar reflectivity exceeding 85%, effectively reducing building energy consumption and providing strong support for LEED certification. This contributes to the "15th Five-Year Plan" low-carbon goals through green manufacturing.

2.Advantages of Green Factory Certification

Green factories play a crucial foundational and guiding role in the green and low-carbon transformation of the manufacturing industry. Currently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is intensifying the promotion and application of the national standard "General Rules for Green Factory Evaluation," and is developing detailed evaluation standards for key industries with significant potential for energy conservation and carbon reduction and strong green competitiveness.

In line with the new requirements for green and low-carbon development under the new circumstances, a new positioning and orientation for green factories has been clarified, proposing the "New Five-fold": low-carbon energy, high-efficiency resources, clean production, green products, and intensive land use. Canlon also provides a wide range of reliable solutions for the renovation and upgrading of existing metal roofs in industrial and commercial plants, as well as the installation of photovoltaic systems, including full-adhesion systems, self-adhesive systems, and mechanical fixing systems.

Canlon has obtained a green factory evaluation certificate issued by the third-party evaluation agency Wantai Certification, and many of its products have obtained China Building Materials Certification and China Environmental Label Product Certification. With rich practical experience, this provides strong support for companies choosing Canlon products when applying for green factory certification.

3.Advantages of applying for various architectural awards

Architectural awards are not only synonymous with building quality, giving homeowners confidence and a sense of security; they are also a carrier of social recognition and values, promoting emotional resonance and a sense of belonging.

Taking Canlon's TPO single-ply roofing system as an example, it lived up to its mission in the third phase expansion project of Guiyang Longdongbao Airport, demonstrating comprehensive advantages such as machine welding capability, convenient construction, and wide environmental adaptability. It was designed and constructed to meet the needs of Guiyang Airport's target of 30 million passengers per year by 2025. The total construction area of the roofing project was over 112,000 square meters, of which the waterproofing area was approximately 100,000 square meters. Ultimately, it won the Zhan Tianyou Civil Engineering Award, fully reflecting the "innovation," "advanced technology," and "authoritativeness" of the building roofing system.

For example, the Canlon TMP® Integrated Panel roofing system solution used in the JD.com (Lankao) Logistics Port project not only achieved excellent waterproofing performance but also helped the project obtain a construction safety production standardization site learning and exchange project, formerly known as the "National AAA-level Safe and Civilized Standardized Construction Site," which is hailed as the "Luban Award" in the field of construction safety management and is the highest award in the national construction safety and civilized construction field. This product system won the "Technological Innovation Award" from the China Steel Structure Association, effectively solving potential quality hazards of traditional roofs and fully leveraging the technological empowerment of polymer materials for metal roofs.
