High Performance Roofing - June 10 & 17
ELIGIBLE FOR AIA CREDIT
REGISTER NOW
This webinar series will focus on High Performance Roofing and provide participants with an overview of energy policy, cool roofs, Life Cycle Assessment in low slope roofing and key sustainable principles. Information on the roofing market size in North America will be disclosed with a further segmentation of new construction vs. retrofit market size. Tools for designers and architects (Daylight Design Tool, DOE Roof Calculator and DOE Cool Peak Calculator) will be summarized. Sustainable commercial roofing systems and case studies that identify trends in commercial roofing systems will be addressed in this webinar series.
High Performance Roofing will help participants:
- Identify sustainable roof system options available for today’s building owner and designer
- Examine which roofing membranes can currently be recycled from construction sites
- Discover why rooftops provide an unequaled platform for achieving critical energy and environmental goals
- Be able to quantify the size of the North American Roofing Market (Retrofit vs. New Construction)
Who Should Attend?
Building Owners, Building Envelope Field Engineers, Architects, Designers, Specifiers, Engineers, Product Managers, End Users and Stakeholders in the roofing industry
Schedule
June 10 - 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Roofpoint™: A New Measure for Environmental Innovation in Roofing - presented by Jim Hoff, Center for Environmental Innovations in Roofing
Whole-building guidelines may not be suitable for the building owner contemplating the installation of a retrofit roofing system independent of other building upgrades typically required by whole-building rating systems. In an effort to help building designers and managers effectively manage the billions of square feet of new roofing assets each year, the Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing, a Washington-based non-profit organization, has developed the Roofpoint™ Environmentally Innovative Guideline for Low-Slope Roofing Systems. Organized around four primary categories of energy, materials, water and life-cycle, Roofpoint™ provides a comprehensive roadmap for the development of sustainable commercial roofing systems. This presentation will review the key features and benefits of the Guideline which will be available for public review and comment during 2010. The session will provide attendees not only with a cogent overview of current sustainable roofing activities across the United States, but also with tools useful in the evaluation, design and selection of sustainable roofing systems.
Reflective Roof Coatings: Their Use in Reducing Life Cycle and Energy Costs - presented by William Kirn, National Coatings Corporation
Field-applied roof coatings are recognized as cost-effective tools for roof maintenance and restoration, reducing life cycle costs, enhancing roof sustainability, and for reducing air conditioning energy costs. While the basic principles, features and benefits are conceptually understood, there is a lack of actual case histories or "proof statements" that quantify these benefits over the wide range of geographic, microclimatic, substrate type and building-use conditions.
June 17 - 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
End of Service Life Recycling of Low Slope Roofing Materials - presented by Stan Graveline, Sika Sarnafil
As stewards of our built environment, we need to increase our focus on a key sustainability principle: end-of-service-life recycling. The presentation will outline what has been achieved with regards to post-consumer recycling of various insulation materials and thermoplastic roof membranes.
Roof-mounted Photovoltaic Systems from the Roof Systems Perspective - presented by James R. Kirby, AIA,
National Roofing Contractors Association
Rooftops increasingly are being used as platforms for renewable energy production. Photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most common form of renewable energy on rooftops today. On new and existing roof systems, PV systems oftentimes are installed without adequate consideration for the roof membrane or roof system. PV panels are 1) supported by racks which attach through the roof system to the roof structure or are non-penetrating and ballasted, or 2) adhesively attached to the surface of certain membranes and metal panels. The presenter will discuss roof material and system issues for new construction and retrofit installations of roof-mounted PV systems. It is important to remember a roof system’s primary function is to weatherproof the rooftop!
