Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona.  This course includes the following components: recording of the live session a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions two surveys required to claim continuing education credit   Description While there is nothing new about wood decks, large warehouses, or mechanically attached, low-slope single-ply roof systems, current design and installation techniques have created a perfect storm resulting in performance and reliability issues that occur even under moderate weather events. This presentation will review existing mechanically attached, single-ply installations on large commercial warehouses to gain an understanding of building pressurization and wind uplift forces that can lead to premature failure of these systems. Upon completion, participants will recognize the limitations of OSB wood decking and the steps required for the successful design and installation of reliable and robust roof systems.

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona.  This course includes the following components: recording of the live session a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions two surveys required to claim continuing education credit  Description The paper presents a study of the effect of hailstone impact on the corrosion resistance of aluminum-zinc alloy coated metal roof panels.  The study is based on both laboratory salt-spray testing of panels impacted by simulated hail and inspections results from in-service panels impacted by large real-world hail more than two decades ago.  Participants will be able to consider the findings from laboratory testing results, real-world investigations, and previous published studies to evaluate the long-term effects of hailstone impact to corrosion resistive properties of the aluminum-zinc alloy coating and, in turn, whether such effects are expected to shorten the service life of panels.  This paper hopes to build upon a growing body of knowledge concerning the long-term effects of hailstone impact to aluminum-zinc alloy coated steel roof panels.

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona.  This course includes the following components: recording of the live session a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions two surveys required to claim continuing education credit Session Description Over the past 30 years, numerous studies on roof albedo and its impact on energy efficiency and urban heat islands have been conducted. New research carried out over the last three years indicates several nuances and even gaps in the three-decades-long discussion of whether a black or white roof is better. This presentation will examine three of these new studies: a study by global consulting firm ICF on the impact of roof albedo on energy efficiency; a study by ICF on the impact of reflective roofs on urban heat islands; and a critical literature review by Clemson University of previously published studies and articles on roof albedo.

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona.  This course includes the following components: recording of the live session a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions two surveys required to claim continuing education credit Description Large skylights are complex building enclosure systems that require careful consideration of access and maintenance strategies in order to reduce potential headaches for building owners and contractors. This presentation will discuss the challenges skylights face in order to prevent leaks, achieve long-term durability, and permit access for maintenance. A review of various large skylight design strategies, including simple drained, engineered drainage systems, and face-sealed structural glass systems, will be undertaken. Skylight access for maintenance will also be discussed, including gantry systems, temporary access systems, and structural glass. The conclusion of the paper will focus on the proper planning for maintenance. Speaker(s)/Author(s) Jordan Swail, BESc, P.Eng (ON).

Course Overview This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona.  This course includes the following components: recording of the live session a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions two surveys required to claim continuing education credit Description Many low-slope roof systems installed over insulated framing spaces develop condensation problems. Unlike similar steep-slope roof systems that use convection- and wind-driven ventilation to dissipate moisture, effective venting is difficult to achieve in low-slope applications. The risk of condensation problems is especially of concern in framing spaces that are fully insulated to avoid the use of sprinklers in accordance with NFPA 13 requirements, which is the focus of this session. Interior air can flow into these insulated framing spaces through ceiling penetrations, interior walls, pressurized ductwork, and other sources. Solutions often involve using unvented roof systems that consider insulation and air barrier placement. Recent code changes have reduced (although not eliminated) the risk of condensation in unvented insulated roof framing systems. This session will review the causes of condensation in low slope insulated frame roof systems and methods for preventing them.
