ERA Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Roofing Industry Leadership
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The EPDM Roofing Association (ERA) is celebrating its 20th anniversary of service to the roofing industry, building on its foundation of science-based research to expand its focus on sustainability.
This focus will include further investigation of the complex and inconsistent temperature assessment protocols that are being used in virtually all Urban Heat Island (UHI) evaluations. Given the multiple approaches to reducing UHI, such as expansion of green spaces, use of reflective roofing, and introduction of moisture into the atmosphere, this inconsistency is making comparisons of efficacy problematic.
