Title: 3 decades of scientific advancement to the North American roofing community
Authors: Baskaran, Appupillai Bas
Publisher Information: International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants (IIBEC), 2024.
Publication Year: 2024
Subject Terms: wind effects, air intrusion, climate-dependant durability (CDDI), standards, ashphalt shingle roofing, low-slope roofs, climate adaptation, weather shock, holistic approach, vegetable roof assembly, uplift design, climate adaptive roof
Description: Three decades ago, members of the roofing community met at the National Research Council of Canada and formed a group with a common focus on evaluating roofing systems in a dynamic environment. As a result, the Special Interest Group on Dynamic Evaluation of Roofing Systems (SIGDERS) was created. SIGDERS’ operation is one of its kind in the world, with the legacy of a long-lasting research and development consortia. In this session, the impacts of SIGDERS on the industry will be discussed, including advancements in the areas of static vs. dynamic roof evaluations, diagnoses of the weakest link, significance of the roof edge, and field vs. code specification.
