More From This Issue

  • Making progress

    The Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing's RoofPoint™ program, a voluntary, consensus-based sustainable roof rating system to help building owners and designers select nonresidential roof systems based on long-term energy and environmental benefits, continues to gain momentum and has numerous initiatives planned for 2015 and beyond.

  • A standard of excellence

    After Philadelphia-based Overbrook School for the Blind's roof system began experiencing leaks in 2012, Russell Roofing Co. Inc., Oreland, Pa., restored the school’s roof and received a Gold Circle Awards honorable mention for its work.

  • What do you declare?

    An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD<sup>&reg;</sup>) is a disclosure document providing environmental data based on products’ life cycles. Although it’s currently unusual for roofing projects to specify roofing products with EPDS, it’s a good idea to become familiar with how EPDs are developed and how they may be required for future roofing projects.
