Building Green on Green

Being recognized for your sustainable actions is wonderful, and Tremco Roofing is honored to have recently received five RoofPoint™ Excellence in Design Awards for select projects. The RoofPoint program from the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing (Center) is a voluntary, consensus-based green rating system developed to help building owners and designers select non-residential roof systems based on long-term energy and environmental benefits.  RoofPoint serves as a simple, transparent and professional measure to validate that new and replacement roof systems are designed, installed and maintained in accordance with the best sustainable practices available today.

With the 2011 launch of RoofPoint, the Center established the RoofPoint Excellence in Design Awards as a way to recognize exceptional projects that meet RoofPoint’s mission and criteria.  There are 10 categories of awards.  More than 40 entries were submitted, and Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance is proud that our projects won Excellence in Design Awards in four categories, as well as an honorable mention.

The projects and their Excellence in Design Awards categories are:

• The Sam Nunn Federal Center, Excellence in Life Cycle Management
• College of Marin Fine Arts Building, Excellence in Innovation
• Tremco Incorporated Headquarters Renovation, Advancing Sustainable Roofing
• Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance, Public Sector Leadership

Our Honorable Mention is in the Global leadership category.

We congratulate everyone involved in these projects–our customers, internal personnel and contractors.  While the awards are a wonderful acknowledgement of their efforts, they are only possible because of the growing understanding of the importance of sustainable building practices.

The Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing is a non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., whose mission is to promote the development and use of environmentally responsible, high performance roof systems and technologies.  For more information on the Center, visit www.RoofingCenter.org.
