Begin 2012 at the first and largest roofing industry gathering — the International Roofing Expo® — your once-a-year opportunity to maximize your company’s productivity, efficiency and profitability.
Sustainable roofing systems can be many things, but primarily they are assemblies that provide a covering protecting a building from the elements (i.e., water, sun, cold, and heat) while minimizing their burden on the environment and conserving energy.
The 2012 International Roofing Expo® (IRE) is launching the Sustainability Pavilion, a designated area on the show floor to provide education and resources to attendees interested in this innovative and cutting-edge segment.
