Course Description: AEC Daily: The Importance of Ventilation in Residential Metal & Cedar Roof Design
ONGOING - FREE
The primary purpose of a roof is to provide shelter and protection; to do so effectively over the long term, proper drainage and ventilation are required. Presented here are the categories of metal roofing, the moisture- and noise-related issues associated with architectural metal roofs, the use of a three-dimensional drainage and ventilation mat as a solution to these issues, and best practices for incorporating a mat in metal and cedar roof assemblies.
ONGOING - FREE
Learning Objectives
Define hydrokinetic and hydrostatic metal roofing and describe their construction, how they manage water, and their suitable applications.
Summarize the moisture- and noise-related issues associated with architectural metal roofs and their impact on the performance and longevity of the roof and the comfort and well-being of building occupants.
Explain how a three-dimensional drainage and ventilation mat that utilizes entangled-net technology promotes airflow, provides a path for drainage, and mitigates noise in metal roof assemblies.
Recall best practices for incorporating roof ventilation mats in metal and cedar roofs to ensure high-performing, energy-efficient installations.
