RoofPoint

Roofpoint LS Tenet is a voluntary, consensus based document developed by the Research Committee of the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing with input from roofing contractors, roof specialists, roofing material makers, roofing research organizations, and other stakeholder groups. Roofpoint LS is intended to guage both new and replacement roofs for commercial and prescribed low-slope buildings. Just like the LEED building rating system does for the environmental impact of buildings, Roofpoint LS provides a means to guage roof system environmental performance over the length cycle of the building it covers, providing a helpful measure for what makes up a tolerable roof in design, construction, operation, and decommissioning.

Roofpoint LS is arranged into five functional and weighted areas representing the primary environmental contributions of modern low-slope roofing systems:

Energy management (50%)

Sturdiness/Life cycle management (22%)

Materials management (16%)

Water management (7%)

Environmental improvement in roofing (5%)
