GAF Introduces New Green Web Tool
Wayne, NJ (9/2011) - GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer, has announced an update of its GAF Green Central microsite - the destination for sustainability information on all the company's product lines, including roofing and roofing accessories, ventilation products, and siding. The microsite is designed around the full lifespan of a structure, detailing the many ways that a roofing product can contribute to 'greening' that structure throughout its service life from production to recycling.
In order to be most useful to design professionals, www.gaf.com/green includes submittal info for property owners and project teams, including the GAF LEED® Playbook and ecoScorecardSM submittal tool. The site also has resources for those preparing for the next generation of green building codes, such as a template Construction Waste Management Plan, information on membrane and asphalt shingle recycling, and links to a number of helpful roofing industry resources, as well as listings of GAF products that meet CRRC®, ENERGY STAR®, and Title 24 requirements. Additionally, free access to the Green Building Certification Institute accredited course 'Asphalt Shingles and the Green Home' is provided.
Visit the new site at gaf.com/green!
