Product catalog summary

Introduction
Ludowici offers sustainable and efficient roofing solutions with tiles that have a lifespan of over 100 years, requiring no maintenance or reroofing every decade. These tiles are made from local, natural materials and are 100% recyclable, contributing to waste reduction and environmental safety.

LEED Certification
LEED is a certification system that evaluates buildings on energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, and resource stewardship. Ludowici tiles can earn LEED points through various credits, including heat island effect, recycled content, and regional materials.

Cool Roof Rating Council & Energy Star
The Cool Roof Rating Council provides ratings for roof surfaces based on radiative energy performance. Ludowici offers over 26 colors that meet these standards. Energy Star labeled products, including Ludowici tiles, help reduce energy consumption by reflecting solar energy, thus lowering cooling costs.

Certification Requirements
Products must identify all chemicals down to 100ppm, avoid certain harmful chemicals, and assess materials for toxicity. They should also have a material reutilization score of at least 50 and adopt water stewardship principles.

Energy Efficiency
Ludowici roofs can achieve energy savings exceeding 20% with a variety of colors meeting a Solar Reflective Index (SRI) greater than 29. This contributes to energy efficiency without limiting aesthetic choices.

Standards and Ratings
Four organizations set standards for sustainable roofing: US Green Building Council (LEED), Energy Star, Cool Roof Rating Council, and Cradle to Cradle. Ludowici tiles meet or exceed these standards, with various colors achieving high SRI values, indicating superior solar reflectivity and energy efficiency.
