In this Roofing Road Trip, Heidi J. Ellsworth meets with Brian T. Pallasch, CAE, CEO/EVP of IIBEC. In a follow-up to the Stephen Patterson, RRC, PE and Dr. Madan Mehta, PE, Ph.D. Roofing Road Trip Podcast about their new publication on Roof Drainage – Second Edition, this book was funded by the CI-IIBEC Foundation. Brian and Heidi will discuss the new book and the unprecedented change in roof drainage design from what it has been used for more than a half-century. They will also review the leadership that IIBEC is taking around drainage including the plumbing codes that assumed that the flow through a roof drain is the same as the flow through a vertical leader of the same diameter. Don’t miss this extremely important discussion.
