SUMMARY
With the industry focus on environmental responsibility, energy concerns, and increased regulations, designers have what could arguably be considered a more restricted approach to roof design. This presentation will explore some of those restrictions and help designers understand how to balance those outside requirements to achieve expected roof performance. Some topics that will be discussed include commonly misunderstood reference standards, the creation of project-specific designs, and meeting quality control expectations.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the impact of regulations and market trends with respect to roof selection
- Gain a better understanding of typically-specified reference standards to apply to your design
- Learn how to use readily-available design tools to your best advantage to produce project-specific construction documents
- Be able to assess the link between project-specific design documents and recently developed field quality assurance procedures
