Green Screened Roofing and Solar PV Installers:

The future of the Earth is placed squarely upon the shoulders of society. How you treat Mother Nature today will leave a lasting impact on the many generations to follow. Change is needed now to secure a better today... and tomorrow.

The Green Screened mark is bestowed upon roofing contractors who embrace the challenge of protecting the environment. With roofs capable of wasting up to 34% of the energy your home consumes, they understand the significant role we all play in the world’s future. Green Screened roofing contractors make a commitment to embrace the “green” movement by:

Educating people about the environmental and savings benefits of having a “green” roof.

Offering homeowners products and services that reduce wasted energy and make their home more efficient.

Taking an active role in preserving the environment through recycling, reusing, and conserving products and supplies both in the field and office.

Photovoltaic Solar Systems:

"Solar photovoltaic systems" refers to a wide variety of solar electricity systems. Solar photovoltaic systems use solar panels made of silicon to convert sunlight into electricity.

Solar photovoltaics are used in a number of ways, primarily to power homes that are inter-tied or interconnected with the grid.

Grid Interconnection:

In a grid-interconnected solar power system, your photovoltaic panel or array of panels is added onto a regular source of electricity (provided by your utility company). The use of solar energy can reduce your reliance on other forms of energy to any degree you choose, depending on how big a system you purchase. Learn more about grid inter-tied solar.

I am a Realtor who has earned the EcoBroker designation. I serve as a member of the Education Committee of the Green Home Builders of the Triangle. I have sold multiple Energy Star and some Green homes and have attended seminars by Duke Energy and the Solar Center at NCSU regarding Energy Star and other Green programs/designations.

I am always looking to learn more about Green Building techniques and resources for my residential clients - both builders and consumers. I strive to help my buyer clients understand the value of and variety of Green options available to them.

Theresa Joan Rosenberg, Architect and Attorney, became an accredited professional (AP) by the Green Building Certification Institute. Professionals achieve this recognition by demonstrating knowledge and understanding of “green” building principles and practice. This is vital to support the use of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system.

LEED is the nationally accepted, pre-eminent benchmark for the design, construction and operation of green buildings. As a LEED AP, Rosenberg will be able to assist clients through the LEED certification process, from startup to final verification of a project’s green measures, as well as helping clients navigate the evolving green building regulatory requirements.

We know that good sustainable design uses less energy— it takes advantage of natural lighting and improved ventilation, allowing a home to breathe. Using sustainable materials means fewer replacements are needed, and your investment in quality materials pays off handsomely through the years.
