The Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing is a not-for-profit 501(c)(6) organization whose mission is to promote the development and use of environmentally responsible, high performance roof systems and technologies. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Center serves as a forum to draw together the entire roofing industry to the common cause of raising public awareness of the strategic value of our nation's roofs in reducing energy consumption, mitigating environmental impact and enhancing the quality of the builds in which we live and work.
The Center is the leading information source on sustainable roofing and serves as a clearinghouse for information. Through a collaborative, transparent process, the Center's research committee members and staff maintain a comprehensive information database suited to a broad array of constituents, including building owners, design professionals, policymakers and industry stakeholders.
Research and information products are designed to help guide members' business decisions, improve the roofing industry's policy and regulatory environment; and educate consumers on the array of environmentally friendly roofing options available.
A central component of the Center’s mission is the effort to heighten awareness and inform policy makers about the impact that buildings have on health, safety, welfare and the economy and the opportunities to design, construct and operate high performance buildings that reflect concerns for these impacts. These concerns demand multiple efforts - increasing energy efficiency, contributing to power generation when possible, assuring buildings exert a minimal influence on the environment, promoting innovative building technologies, and supporting private and public sector efforts addressing these concerns.
