Course Description: AEC Daily: Extra R-Value: How to Get More with Less Space
From pitched to low-slope roofing, a myriad of designs are possible. Conventional roofing with the waterproofing membrane located weather-side and protected membrane roofing with the waterproofing membrane located at the deck can be used on buildings of various end uses. Roofs can be low or high albedo to impact solar gain; add to this vegetative roof assemblies (green roofs), roofs with solar arrays, and blue roofs (stormwater management), and no two roofs are alike. Join us to review the modern roof taxonomies and associated benefits and drawbacks, learn about the latest options in roof construction, and reflect on performance differences.
Review the construction of low-slope roof types and associated new and repair construction statistics.
Describe the latest options in roof insulation material categories, with examples of integrating them into projects, including how to increase R-value with limited space available.
Apply combinations of roof insulations to address unique and common challenges in new construction and in reroofing.
Restate the impact of insulation material on long-term roof performance.
