  1. Introducing Roofpoint™ For Environmentally Innovative Roofing Systems Presentation to Industry Stakeholders February 24, 2010 New Orleans, LA

  2. Today’s Agenda • Introducing Roofpoint™ • What it is, why it was developed • How it was started, where it is going • Roofpoint™ Overview • Mission & objectives • Organization: Sections, credits, weighting • Building Consensus for Roofpoint™ • Participants, process, timetable • The next steps

  3. What is Roofpoint™? • A guidelinefor the selection of roofing systems that maximize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact • A checklist to evaluate the many ways roofing systems provide economic and environmental benefits • An assessment system to compare alternative sustainable roofing strategies • A recognition program to reward environmental innovation in roofing

  4. Why is Roofpoint™ Needed? • Increase Visibility of Roofing.“Low-slope roofing systems contribute in many ways to achieving building sustainability, including reducing energy consumption, producing renewable energy, managing water and material resources, and extending building service life. Many popular green building rating systems tend to narrowly focus on one or two roof system options, such as cool roofing or vegetated roofing, instead of the broader array of roofing systems available to enhance the sustainability of the built environment.” • Emphasize Importance of Re-Roofing.“Green building rating systems, with their predominant focus on new construction or major building renovation, tend to neglect the billions of square feet of re-roofing systems installed on existing buildings every year.” • Increase Emphasis on Durability.“Green building rating systems may place too little emphasis on the durability and long-term performance required for a roofing system to be considered truly sustainable; and this lack of emphasis on roofing durability may significantly reduce the long-term sustainability of the underlying building.”

  5. ™ Roofpoint: What’s in it for our Industry? • A credible roofing guideline and assessment system will build value for the entire roofing industry: • Roofing will become a value-added product • Roofing will become a value-added profession • The roofing industry will gain influence in building policy, design and purchase decisions

  6. How Roofpoint™ Started • Initiated by CEIR Board of Directors • Major roofing contracting, manufacturing and private capital organizations • Developed by CEIR Research Committee • Representatives from a cross-section of the largest roofing contractors and manufacturers in North America • Recognized roofing professionals deeply involved in research & standards development

  7. Roofpoint™ Mission “The mission of Roofpoint™ is to provide a means of roof system selection across membrane types and system designs so that the roofing industry as a whole is recognized for the diversity of environmentally responsive options it offers to meet the needs of concerned building owners. Roofpoint™ is intended to serve as a cornerstone for the design and selection of environmentally innovative roofing systems.”

  8. Roofpoint™ Objectives • It must be easyto understand and use • It must reflect the best of current green thinking • It must be designed for tangible value for building designers and owners • It must be designed to evolve into a recognized consensus standard

  18. Roofpoint™ LS Credits & Points Weighting Approach “The Guideline weighting approach relies primarily on weighting principles established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in its Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES) model for building sustainability and related research. Because the BEES model serves as a starting point for the Guideline weighting methodology, the Guideline places the greatest weighting on energy-related credits, especially credits involving the long-term operational aspects of buildings and roofing systems. Credits involving material management, especially the reduction of material waste throughout the life cycle chain, follow as a second priority. Because the BEES system involves an extensive analysis of the life cycle and economic aspects of building material performance, the Guideline also establishes durability / life cycle management as a secondary priority. Following the emphasis on energy, materials and life cycle management, the Guideline establishes water management and environmental innovation at a third level of priority.”

  26. Roofpoint™ LS Industry Review Review Process: • The CEIR Research Committee will provide each reviewer the latest draft of the Guideline along with a structured comment form • Reviewers will be asked to provide comments for each published draft. • Credits: Is each credit relevant to achieving an environmentally innovative roof? Are there any potential credits that could be added? • Intent: Does the intent adequately describe the benefit offered by the credit? • Requirements: Do the requirements fulfill the intent of the credit? Are the requirements 1) measurable 2) understandable, 3) achievable? Are there alternatives or other options to be considered? • Points and weighting: Is the overall weighting system reasonable and justifiable? Are individual credit points proportionate to environmental contribution?

  27. Roofpoint™ LS Industry Review Review Process: • The CEIR Research Committee will prepare and publish a report summarizing all comments received: • The report will summarize comments related to • overall relevancy of each credit • relation of the intent to the credit • relation of the requirements to the intent • measurability of requirements • achievability of the requirements • proportionality of the point values • The report will identify areas of significant disagreement for future discussion and action

  28. Roofpoint™ LS Industry Review Review Process: • The CEIR Research Committee will prepare and publish a revised draft of the Guideline: • The draft will incorporate all non-conflicting suggestions from the industry reviewers as much as possible • In the case of significant disagreement among the reviewers, the draft may incorporate alternatives or optional language to stimulate additional discussion and to facilitate eventual resolution and consensus • The revised draft will identify all revisions incorporated along with a commentary explaining the committee’s rationale for each revision.
