Solar Roof Dedicated at Federal Center

CANTON, Mass. - Sika Sarnafil Inc., a leading manufacturer of thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing systems, announced the dedication of the solar electric roof at the Frederick C. Murphy Federal Center. The new integrated system will provide watertight protection for the building contents and produce up to 50 percent of the building’s electricity needs. The building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing system, manufactured by Los Angeles-based Solar Integrated, consists of 252 solar panels laminated to the surface of the Sarnafil EnergySmart Roof membrane. The system is expected to produce at least 488,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, saving the General Services Administration $67,000 in electricity costs. For more information, visit www.sikacorp.com.


MCA Revises Roofing Certification Program

GLENVIEW, Ill. - Based on input from its Roofing Council task force, the Metal Construction Association (MCA) has implemented changes to its Roofing Certification Program in the areas of labeling, renewal fees and auditing to make it easier for a broader range of companies to participate. The changes do not affect the program’s standards that have been designed to ensure the highest quality and durability of metal roofing. Pre-painted metal roofing that meets this MCA program’s performance criteria will hold up against weather extremes and will not experience extensive color fading and chalking from heat, ultraviolet radiation and moisture. The performance criteria are based on actual field performance of paint systems exposed to southern Florida’s environment.

For more information, visit www.metalconstruction.org.
