 Reroofing Course Description This 6-hour course covers a range of concepts, including a discussion of the steps required for the roof consultant to successfully evaluate an existing roof and to make decisions regarding roof design using available references, resources, and evaluation techniques. Speakers will present a review of reroof options and decision-making principles, building code considerations, reroof considerations, and examples of roof systems. Proper preparation of plans and specifications is presented to clarify the delivery of these documents. The roles of the stakeholders in the bid process are discussed.  This course examines the elements required to properly execute meetings, project site visits, design resolutions, and project closeout.   This course is designed for building consultants, architects, and engineers who regularly engage renovation of existing buildings (schools, office buildings, industrial buildings. etc.) Course Access Courses are accessible in LearnUpon for one year from the date of purchase.

Additional Information This is the recorded version of the live two-day course and is a first component of a two-part series covering, in detail, aspects of the technology and science of roofing. It covers the history and evolution of roofing up to present-day common applications. It features terminology and technical information regarding roof decks and structures, roof insulation, bitumen membranes, built-up and modified bitumen membranes and flashing systems. An understanding of heat transfer theory, moisture, thermal design, and the calculation of U-factors will also be presented. Highlights of the program include: critical aspects of roof decking and related supporting structures, heat transfer and practical heat transfer calculations, the function of heat transfer and the different types of roof insulation, the technology behind roofing bitumens and their related BUR and modified-bitumen membranes, and basic flashing nomenclature and bituminous flashing system construction. The Roof Technology and Science I course features fundamental concepts that prove useful for students in other IIBEC Educational Programs. Roof consultants, facility managers, contractors, architects, engineers, roofing material salespeople, property managers and others can gain new insight and professional development in the continually evolving world of roofing technology. This recorded version of the live two-day event is sponsored by GAF. Read more
