The Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing (Center) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2011 RoofPoint Excellence in Design Awards. This year’s award winners were selected among more than 40 projects submitted for consideration and evaluated based on the mission and criteria of RoofPoint.

RoofPoint is a voluntary, consensus-based green rating system developed by the Center to provide a means for building owners and designers to select commercial roof systems based on long-term energy and environmental benefits. With the launch of RoofPoint in 2011, the Center now recognizes design excellence through the RoofPoint program.
