Bethesda, MD - The EPDM Roofing Association (ERA) is launching an updated, streamlined and user-friendly web site that contains in-depth and easy-to-access research and technical support for the roofing industry. The new web site is part of ERA’s ongoing commitment to provide the most extensive and current information about the long standing value of EPDM roofing materials. “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, vice president of marketing at Firestone Building Products, and chairman of ERA’s board of directors. “We’re providing the answers and making sense of the science. At the ERA web site, you can find what you need to know about what makes EPDM a superior roofing system.” The new web site organizes information about EPDM in specific sections, including “An EPDM Roof for Every Climate”; “Cool Roofing and Energy Efficiency”; “Recycling EPDM”; “The Environmental Impact of EPDM”; and the “Long-Term Service Life of EPDM.” The web site also provides a database of EPDM research, as well as the latest media coverage of EPDM and related issues. The web site provides breaking news on federal and state regulatory issues. “ERA was the leading source of information on changing VOC regulations,” said Ellen Thorp, associate executive director of ERA. “We will continue to update the web site so that it becomes the ‘go to’ source about government actions that impact the EPDM roofing industry.”
