This webinar will discuss select rated roofs and edge metal systems as well as establish roof zone layouts based on prescriptive and performance methods. A discussion of the new code requirements and compliance tools regarding ASCE 7-16 will also be covered. Learners will be able to immediately put their learning into practice, as they will be placed on a project team to work through a wind uplift design.
Webinar/Course Objectives:
1. Understand code requirements for wind design that apply to designers.
2. Discuss new requirements in ASCE 7-16 (relative to ASCE 7-10).
3. Evaluate roof zone layouts and their effect on installed roof-system capacity.
4. Recognize the importance of edge metal for overall wind resistance.
5. Review where to find “listed” roofing assemblies.
This panel discussion of industry leaders and manufacturers will provide learners with a better understanding of how the supply chain crisis is impacting manufacturers and building enclosure consultants. A discussion will take place on how building enclosure consultants can work with manufacturers to determine appropriate workarounds while ensuring they do not violate warranties.
