ROOF ASSEMBLY FIRE TESTING FOR CODE COMPLIANCE
The course will cover a general review of IBC roofing requirements, standards governing fire testing and an overview of flame spread, intermittent flame, burning brand, and the different code testing in place to protect the occupants of a building in the event of a fire.
INSULATION CHARACTERISTICS IN LOW-SLOPE ROOFING APPLICATIONS
Course will describe insulation and its associated applications in commercial low-slope roofing related to energy-efficient design, fire resistance, code compliance, and enhancing building resiliency.
TAPERED POLYISO INSULATION - COMMERCIAL ROOF SYSTEMS
The goal of tapered roof insulation systems is to reduce or eliminate the amount of ponding/standing water on the finished membrane when the roof deck does not provide adequate slope. Draining the water in a timely and efficient manner minimizes the adverse effects that ponding/standing water can have on roof membranes.
PVC ROOFING MATERIALS – PERFORMANCE, CONSTRUCTION, FUNCTIONALITY
This course will describe the many benefits of using a white reflective PVC roofing membrane, including saving energy and reducing the use of fossil fuels. The question of which buildings should consider PVC roofs will also be discussed.
BLACK OR WHITE MEMBRANE, WHAT IS THE SUSTAINABLE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT CHOICE?
The one-hour session will cover the energy impact of roof color based on various geographic regions along with a review of the performance trade-offs and other considerations that go into a sustainable roofing system design.
FLEECE MEMBRANES AND URETHANE ADHESIVES –INDUSTRY-LEADING PERFORMANCE
In this program the participants will learn about the physical characteristics of different types of fleece-backed single-ply membranes, including EPDM, TPO, PVC, and KEE HP, as well as the benefits of the addition of fleece to the membranes.
DESIGNING FOR PERFORMANCE – SINGLE-PLY ROOFING LESSONS LEARNED
The one-hour session will cover the energy impact of roof color based on various geographic regions along with a review of the performance trade-offs and other considerations that go into a sustainable roofing system design.
ALL ABOUT THE EDGE
An introduction to the design, testing, and performance of edge metal systems for low-slope roofs. This presentation will go over the basics of edge metal, describe the importance of the perimeter edge in relation to the total roof system, explain the history behind metal roof edge standards such as ANSI/SPRI/ES-1, discuss detail updates to roof edge standards, and explain performance and test ratings/protocol.
