Sustainability means different things to different people, and each owner has requirements to meet while achieving the project goals. During this presentation, you will learn how the roof assembly can help meet various sustainability goals. Case studies and specific examples will highlight ways to incorporate circularity, solar reflectivity, durability, energy efficiency and overburden roof assemblies into your design. Overburden assemblies will highlight options such as green roofs, water management, amenity spaces and rooftop solar. The presentation will conclude with an overview of the different sustainability documentation available for roof materials and how specific projects acquired LEED, WELL and Living Building Challenge certifications.
Learning objectives:
- Demonstrate how to specify a roof assembly that meets an owner’s sustainability goals.
- Describe how the use of roof membranes, coatings and liquid applied roofing can increase the durability of an existing roof.
- Identify the aspects of a roof assembly that can improve a building's energy efficiency.
- Differentiate between various overburden options such as vegetative roofs, blue roofs and blue-green roofs.
