When FOX 10 Phoenix set out to cover groundbreaking innovation coming out of Arizona State University, they found EnKoat and the story they told captured exactly what IntelliKoat™ is built to do. Two ASU graduates, a bold idea, and a coating system that works like sunscreen for roofs blocking heat before it ever enters a building.

With record-breaking heatwaves sweeping the U.S., that innovation has never been more needed.

The analogy is simple, and it's accurate. Just as sunscreen protects skin from the sun's radiation, IntelliKoat™ protects a building's roof from absorbing and transferring solar heat. The result is a roof surface that stays dramatically cooler dropping temperatures by up to 40°F and a building interior that follows suit.

For building owners and facility managers in heat-stressed markets, that temperature difference translates directly into lower energy bills, reduced HVAC strain, and a more comfortable environment for the people inside.

EnKoat was founded by Arizona State University graduates who understood the heat problem firsthand and who saw an opportunity to solve it with materials science rather than more energy consumption. IntelliKoat™ is the result of that conviction: a patented, dual-layer thermal and weather barrier system that reduces roof surface temperatures by up to 40°F and cuts energy use by up to 30%.

The FOX 10 Phoenix feature brought that story to a broader audience at exactly the right moment as communities across the country grapple with the growing cost and danger of extreme heat events.
