One of my twitter friends, @ultimike, recently linked me to a story from the Orlando Sentinel about a homeowner’s association in East Orlando that won’t let someone get a light-colored roof, which could save them $100 – $150 per month on their electric bill because it won’t match the “harmony” of the rest of the neighborhood.
From Orlando homeowner battles HOA, wants roof to reflect energy-saving ethic:
She said she understands that her neighbors denied the request because no one else has a white roof.
But “until you get one white roof, you can’t have two. Until you have two, you wouldn’t have three,” Piper said. “If we did all the roofs at one time, with $100 of savings a year on each one and 100 homes, that’s $10,000 … for electricity that is just wasted now.”
