DALLAS – January 25, 2012 – The 2012 International Roofing Expo® [IRE] is launching the Sustainability Pavilion, a designated area on the show floor to provide education and resources to attendees interested in this innovative and cutting-edge segment.

“The Sustainability Pavilion provides a great opportunity to understand how new technologies will shape our future,” said Bill Good, Executive Vice President of NRCA, the show’s official sponsor. “I encourage all of our members to see the latest products and learn from the educational demonstrations.”
