Healthcare facilities are often complex buildings that require holistic solutions to address performance needs. Designing durable, redundant, and resilient building enclosures is essential to meet this goal while also protecting against severe weather.
This session will highlight the roof's critical role in mitigating design risk. Case studies will highlight various roof assemblies, while single-ply, hybrid, asphaltic, and liquid-applied solutions will be analyzed in terms of their contributions to resilience and sustainability strategies.
Join us to explore how to integrate green roofs and amenity spaces into designs for occupied roof decks along with key strategies for overall risk mitigation.
Learning Objectives
- Review attributes of roof assemblies that can improve building resilience.
- Compare how various roof systems can contribute to sustainability strategies.
- Evaluate design considerations and strategies for green roofs and amenity spaces.
- Analyze airtightness, energy efficiency, and quality control strategies to mitigate risk in building enclosure design.
