Your roof system is an integral and sometimes misunderstood part of a building envelope’s thermal efficiency; with the push for energy efficiency in our existing building stock, roof systems and the entire building envelope are directly in the sights of codes and regulations. When "High-R" roofs are coupled with rooftop photovoltaic systems, a new set of code requirements and guidelines comes into play. This session will break down in non-code language the code requirements for insulation, air barriers and rooftop PV systems and he’ll make sense of it all by providing design examples to show what these new requirements mean for the design of a roof system and the installation of its construction details. This session will also present two new documents: CEIR PV Racking and Attachment Criteria for Effective Membrane Roof System Integration and CEIR/PIMA Roof and Wall Thermal Design Guide to the 2012 I-Codes.

1. Define the latest I-Code requirements for insulating and air sealing roof and wall systems
2. Properly design a roof and wall system insulation layer, including the required elements for air sealing construction details 
3. Define the new CEIR/PIMA Roof and Wall Thermal Design Guide to the 2012 I-Codes
4. Identify the latest I-Code requirements for rooftop PV systems
5. Discuss the new CEIR PV racking and attachment criteria for installation of rooftop PV systems, and learn how to turn the ideas into appropriate construction details
