A cooler roof for a sustainable future When a class at Georgia Tech University was tasked with identifying ways to reduce carbon emissions on campus, GE Enduris roof coating helped make one team’s solution a reality.

Nearly two decades later, the Georgia Tech students were ready to bring the building into the future by leading a roof restoration project with GE Enduris coating. *
