LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Highland Commercial Roofing Company, a leading commercial roofing contractor operating in California and Arizona, has taken a further step in the fight against Global Warming by converting their entire California truck fleet to run on Biodiesel fuel.
The switch to Biodiesel fuel was a natural progression for Highland Commercial Roofing; committed to the "Green" movement, they have helped building owners and property managers throughout the Southwest achieve environmental building and energy saving goals since 1991.
Highland Commercial Roofing specializes in the installation of Energy Star rated "Cool-Roof", U.S. Green Building Council "LEED" qualified, and California Title-24 Cool-Roof Compliant Roofing Systems. Highland's roofing systems are environmentally friendly, sustainable, and help reduce building energy consumption, while contributing to the overall reduction of Urban Heat-Island effect in major cities.
Highland Commercial Roofing is a pioneer in environmentally friendly, sustainable "Green" roofing systems. Ironically, burning diesel fuel in their truck fleet seemed a bit of a contradiction to their Green mantra and the fight against Global Warming. Biodiesel fuel was the answer but local distribution was a challenge. After a long search Highland was finally able to find a distributor that could provide them with onsite storage of Biodiesel to fuel their fleet of service and installation trucks.
