The 2011 International Roofing Expo is
launching the Renewable Energy Pavilion, a designated area on the show floor to
provide education and resources to attendees interested in this innovative and
cutting-edge segment.
The Renewable Energy Pavilion will educate attendees on of the benefits
of using renewable energy products including solar, green/eco-friendly,
photovoltaics, vegetative, roof-mounted wind turbines, day lighting, geothermal
and other renewable energy products. The
Renewable Energy Pavilion is
sponsored by Georgia Pacific, who
will be exhibiting in booth #726.
“Renewable energy products are a fast-growing segment of the roofing
industry,” said Lindsay Roberts, Director of the Expo. “In fact, there was a
nearly 21 percent increase from 2009 to 2010 in the number of attendees who
indicated they were interested in solar and green/eco-friendly
categories.”
The Renewable Energy Pavilion exhibits and product
showcase area will feature Ambassador Energy, Cool Roof Rating Council, Dow
Building Solutions, Heat Barrier Systems, Horizon Exterior Technology,
Integrated Power Corporation, LiveRoof, Orion Energy Systems, PHP
Systems/Design, Quick Mount PV, Silverback Solar, SolarFrameWorks, USP Energy
Coatings, and U.S. Sunlight Corporation, to name a few.
In addition to the products, a two-day series of 30-minute educational
demonstrations will take place on Feb. 16-17. Participating companies include
Dow Building Solutions, NRCA, Silverback Solar, Green Roof Blocks, RRCI, Clean
Power Finance and Natron Resources. An additional 15 minutes will be allowed per
demonstration for questions and answers.
“The Renewable Energy Pavilion promises to be an exciting addition to the
International Roofing Expo,” said Bill Good, Executive Vice President of NRCA.
“Everyone in the roofing industry needs to understand how new technologies will
shape our future, and I encourage all of our members, in particular, to take
advantage of this chance to see the latest products and learn from the
educational demonstrations.”
The Renewable Energy Pavilion is included free of charge and included in
