Description

This presentation initially took place at the 2020 Building Enclosure Symposium.

Weather events are trending to be more destructive. Sustainability focuses on roofing products’ effects on the future; resilience focuses on roofing assemblies’ ability to endure. But how do we adapt roof system designs for an unpredictable climate and energy future in the US and globally?

Long-term building performance necessitates an inherent and essential capacity to design for resilience in the face of vulnerability, and buildings that can adapt to the changing environments in which they were built. What do resilient and adaptive buildings look like, how do they behave, and how do we design for this belt-and-suspenders approach that requires such elasticity? And what role does roof selection and design play?

Learning Objectives:

Understand current trends and identify best practice approaches

Incorporate concepts into roof system design for 22nd century performance

Discuss design considerations including wind uplift resistance, water management, and rooftop energy generation and storage

Review resilient design resources

Good content, but geared toward a certain contingent of US with less developed energy codes.
