Roofing industry updates include new sustainability training and damage assessment guidance

The Roofing Alliance and Clemson University have launched a new online, self-paced professional training course focused on sustainability and resiliency within the roofing supply chain. The program covers key concepts, life cycle assessments, and the environmental impacts of roofing materials from extraction through post-construction. Participants can earn 8 AIA Continuing Education credits and a Certificate of Completion upon passing a final examination.

In related industry developments, Taylore Roofing has released informational resources aimed at helping property owners identify roof damage. The guidance emphasizes recognizing signs of deterioration, such as missing shingles, water stains, and moisture intrusion, particularly following severe weather events like heavy rain or hail. The resource highlights the importance of distinguishing between routine aging and structural damage that requires professional evaluation.
