Excellence in Design Award Program
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Center (Center for Environmental Innovation
in Roofing) is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(6) organization that serves as a forum to
draw together the entire roofing industry into the common cause of promoting the
knowledge base, development and use of environmentally responsible, high-performance
roof systems.
The Excellence in Design award was established by NRCA in 2003 to recognize those
who design long-lasting, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly roof systems
according to accepted industry practices. In 2005, NRCA launched SpecRight, a program
geared toward educating contractors, designers and building owners about energy-efficient
and environmentally friendly roof systems. And in 2006, the award was renamed the
SpecRight Excellence in Design Award to reflect better the goals of the educational
program and the spirit of the award. As of 2008, SpecRight and the Excellence in
Design Award have been integrated in to the Center.
All NRCA and the Center members are encouraged to apply for the 2009 Excellence
in Design Award. To be considered, roof systems must have been designed and installed
after
Jan. 1, 2006, and an organization must complete an application by Nov.
