cements and sealants for roofing and waterproofing. The company is the lead- ing manufacturer of Energy Star labeled coatings, a gov- ernment-backed program that reduces greenhouse gas emissions through energy ef- ficiency. “We’re thrilled to announce the completion of Karnak’s rooftop solar PV system, said Jamie Hahn , co-founder and managing director of Solis Partners. “By installing solar, Karnak is able to introduce sustainability to the manufac- turing of its environmentally friendly products. Solar is a great way for businesses such as Karnak to go green while lowering their operat- ing costs.” In conjunction with install- ing the PV system, Karnak coated its roof with its 501 Elasto-brite roof-coating prod- uct, a white reflective roof coating that better reflects sunlight. The reflective coat- ing helps to reduce energy use, save money and reduce waste by extending the life of a roof by 15 years. The solar system and white reflective roof coat- ing, which also helps the solar system’s production and keeps the building envelope cooler, will offset approximately 25 percent of Karnak’s electric- ity usage. “We’ve made a big commit- ment to sustainability with our environmentally friendly product line, and now we’ve taken it one step further by lowering our carbon foot- print through the production of clean, renewable energy. This, combined with our other initiatives, demonstrates our concern for preserving the en- vironment while also working to control costs,” said Sarah Jelin , president of Karnak Corp. n
