Commercial Roofing Sustainability
Sustainable Building and Roofing Practices
Simon Roofing is committed to a philosophy and practice of sustainability, environmental protection and corporate social responsibility. From everyday operations at our corporate headquarters to on-site commercial roof repairs and installations, we take great pride in our efforts to promote environmentally sound building practices.
Our commitment to sustainability includes:
- We want to eliminate landfill waste so we maintain a bias to repair/restore whenever possible and only tear off and replace a roof as a last resort.
- Our team of scientists are consistently researching, developing re-roof alternatives and energy efficient roofing products and systems, including those that qualify for LEED certifications.
- We offer a variety of commercial roof systems that are best suited for your building, climate and environmental goals, including reflective roofs, vegetated or green roofs, skylights, solar panels and more.
- We partner with the leading industry environmental organizations like the Department of Energy, LEED, Cool Roof Rating Council, Ozone Transport Commission and the California Energy Commission.
