More than Just a Single Ply: Achieving Resiliency with Single-Ply Roofing Systems
Because a building's roof plays an important role in shielding occupants from the elements, proper roof system design can help increase the overall resiliency of the entire building. Starting with a working definition of building resiliency, this webinar will explore different design strategies for achieving resiliency in roof system design and selection, with an emphasis on modern single-ply roofing systems. A key focus of the webinar will be how single-ply roofs, which by definition do not include redundant layers of roofing membrane, can be designed to provide redundancy in response to external forces such as high winds and hail. The webinar also will focus on how properly designed single-ply roofing systems can help protect building occupants and equipment in the event of prolonged power outages by providing auxiliary lighting and electrical power and by helping to maintain acceptable interior temperatures.
Finally, this webinar will provide participants with a Resilient Roof System Checklist that can be used to review and incorporate critical resiliency features into any single-ply roof system design.
