Summer 2022

Severe weather has significantly changed the way we look at design and construction of our buildings—from commercial to residential.

This edition’s CEU article discusses appropriate selection of the entire roofing assembly, including proper detailing and integration, as well as installation, and how they are paramount to the overall success and longevity of the overburden system.

Protecting the lightning protection system during roof maintenance
Jennifer Morgan Michael Chusid, RA FCSI
March 14, 2022
