In April 2008, the Reflective Insulation Manufacturers Association, Olathe, Kan., went international, and since that time, new members have joined, new programs have been launched and new information has been made available to the industry. With the redesign of the association’s Web site, more of this information is accessible. Some of the new features include the What’s Hot section on the opening page,which highlights the most recent industry developments and association news; the Myths & Misconceptions section that addresses common industry questions; and the Building Award Program section, featuring RIMA-I’s 2008 contest winners and its soon-to-be-launched Product Verifi cation Program, which will verify product test data for participating member products. You can also join the association’s mailing list.
