BETHESDA, Md. — The EPDM Roofing Association (ERA) is celebrating its 10th Anniversary of service to the roofing industry during 2013. During this anniversary year, ERA will focus on providing advanced science to help clarify the choice of appropriate roofing systems in climates throughout the U.S. and internationally. Members of ERA manufacture both white and black roofing membranes, and represent top line expertise in the use of both systems. Building on its ten-year record of leadership, ERA will provide up-to-date information on the choice of roofing systems in all climates, as well information about the use of new measurements to accurately assess the long-term environmental impact of roofing.
“We realize this is a critical time for the building community. People have questions about sustainability, cool roofing, recycling, and the environmental impact of construction products,” said John Geary, of Firestone Building Products, and Chairman of ERA’s Board of Directors. “We are proud of our ten-year track record of industry leadership at ERA. And we plan to mark those ten years of success by providing the industry with specific answers to many of the questions that confront us.”
