Roofs are critical to the overall performance of a building enclosure. However, high performance roofs require all the components of the roof assembly to work together as designed. This panel discussion will provide insights on what needs to be included in your roof specification from an architect, building enclosure consultant, contractor and manufacturer. Topics will include when to use a coverboard, the choice of insulation facers, membrane thickness, and the importance of quality control.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss when a coverboard is required for a project and how it relates to overall system performance.
- Learn how to choose the insulation, facer, and installation based on project needs.
- Explore how to defend a specification from value engineering proposals.
- Examine quality control and testing options for evaluating roof assemblies.
