For the majority of buildings, the roof system is critical to the overall performance and success of the building envelope. Not only should the roof be the first line of defense against the weather and weather events, it should provide an energy efficient, long lasting, durable solution. The presenter will discuss the important aspects of a sustainable and energy efficient roof system. The technical basis for the presentation will be RoofPoint™, a rating system for non-residential roofs. RoofPoint™ can also be an important design tool for sustainable, energy efficient, long-term performing roof systems.

- Understand how to design a roof system for sustainability, resiliency and longevity
- Learn the proper methods to provide an energy-efficient roof system
- Understand how a roof system can be truly sustainable
