Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in Orlando, Florida. This course includes the recording of the session, a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions, and surveys required to claim continuing education credit.
Description
The primary intent of this presentation is to guide the audience through the journey of attempting to answer the following questions: Do we understand the term sustainability? Can we genuinely assess the relationship between the built environment and sustainability?
The objective of the systematic literature review conducted for 280 studies was to understand the
impact of the built environment on energy savings, especially the efficiency of roofing systems and their overarching impact on energy efficiency. The discussion will include the effects of roof membrane on energy savings of the roof/building enclosure, including the following key points:
- Increasing reflectance and albedo value of roofing membrane directly impact the roof’s energy efficiency, resulting in an increase in energy
- The role of key parameters (months in the year, insulation, climate zones, etc.) on energy efficiency and its consideration in the various studies.
- Path forward for the roofing industry to direct and design studies on energy efficiency that benefit the industry, buildings, and the environment.
This presentation will offer a thorough examination of the roofing sector by combining the results of several past investigations on energy efficiency and the path forward.

Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Assess the impact of increasing reflectance and albedo value of roofing membranes on energy efficiency and energy savings.
- Assess energy efficiency impacts in differing regions and how roof assembly design impacts design decision-making in various climatic regions.
- Recognize the role of investigation on life-cycle analysis and how the roof design impacts the calculations of energy savings in dollar value.
- Apply the study’s findings in the decision-making for the design of the building enclosure to achieve long-term sustainability goals.
