Course Description: AEC Daily: Fundamentals of Sustainable, Energy-Efficient PVC & KEE Single-Ply Roofing Membranes
PVC and KEE single-ply roofing membranes are widely used in sustainable building design due to their durability, material efficiency, and recyclability. This course provides an overview of installation, warranties, and maintenance requirements and explores the role of membranes in reflective and vegetated roof systems. Also examined are their potential contributions toward LEED® v5 Building Design and Construction and Sustainable SITES® v2 credits addressing urban heat island mitigation, solar panel readiness, stormwater management, and construction and demolition waste reduction.
Describe the history, composition, and performance attributes of PVC and KEE-modified PVC roofing membranes.
Explain the benefits of cool and green roofs and how PVC membranes can help projects meet LEED and SITES requirements for urban heat island mitigation and stormwater management and LEED solar panel readiness goals.
Discuss PVC installation options for reflective and green roofs and the types of warranties that are a testament to the material’s long lifespan that minimizes environmental impact.
Restate the process and important considerations for recycling PVC roofing membranes and how it contributes to LEED goals for reducing construction and demolition waste.
