Ottawa, Ontario, March 2015 – Firon Roofing Inc. is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious Certified Green Roofer designation from GAF, the largest roofing manufacturer in North America. The GAF Certified Green Roofer program was designed in consultation with the US Green Building Council in order to recognize leading roofing companies for their commitment to sustainable business practices.

To achieve this designation Firon Roofing ensures that all our staff have completed USGBC approved training in the roofing systems required to construct a green home.
This includes:

• The technology behind cool roofing
• Techniques that take advantage of proper attic ventilation to provide improved indoor air quality
• Roof preparation for solar energy
• The recycling of asphalt shingle

Firon Roofing has made a commitment to run a sustainable job site. We also continuously improve our knowledge of green building techniques by participating in the local USGBC chapter.The roof is one of the most important factors when considering a green building. An asphalt shingle roofing system that has been professionally installed can:

• Increase the durability of your home by controlling moisture
• Use cool roofing to help improve energy efficiency
• Provide a suitable foundation for solar energy
• Improve air quality within the home
• Use attic ventilation to reduce the risk of ice dams

In addition to all these benefits, asphalt shingle roofing is recycled into the manufacture of asphalt paving, so contributing to a greener environment.
