The mission of the RoofPoint Registered Professional (RRP) program is to develop a group of experienced professionals representing all key roofing stakeholders who have demonstrated competency in the application of the RoofPoint Guideline for Innovative Nonresidential Roofing to evaluate individual roofing projects.
“RoofPoint Registered Professionals represent a dedicated group of professionals in the roofing industry who make critical contributions every day to sustainable construction and whose work helps to showcase the critical role roofs play in mitigating the impact buildings have on our environment,” said Center President Craig Silvertooth.
RRPs may provide services to building owners, facilities managers, and other building designers interested in achieving the RoofPoint designation for their projects. The inaugural class of RoofPoint Registered Professionals includes 22 professionals representing each key sector of the roofing industry. The RRPs are listed on the RoofPoint Web site under “Find a RoofPoint Professional.”
Professionals interested in seeking the RoofPoint Registered Professional designation are encouraged to visit “Become a RoofPoint Professional” on the program Web site.
