Metal roof design tips: The devil is in the details

Metal roof design tips: The devil is in the details

This course is worth 1.0 AIA LU/HSW


By MBCI | October 30, 2013

In this AIA/CES-approved presentation, you will learn that designing a roofing system for long-term performance requires long-term thinking about the details incorporated in a metal roof system. This presentation provides information regarding proper design to prevent possible infiltration from the roof system into the building. It also works as a guide when designing a roof to allow for proper water runoff.

Learning objectives include:
• Requirements needed when designing details incorporated into a metal roof system.
• Being exposed to both correct and incorrect details and conditions that are best avoided when possible,
• Learning how roof penetrations should be specified and installed to provide long term weathertightness.
• Learning about dissimilar metals and how they affect a roof’s service life.

Bridging the gap: How early architect involvement can revolutionize a city’s capital improvement plans

Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs) typically span three to five years and outline future city projects and their costs. While they set the stage, the design and construction of these projects often extend beyond the CIP window, leading to a disconnect between the initial budget and evolving project scope. This can result in financial shortfalls, forcing cities to cut back on critical project features.
