Building Statistics - Typical Roofing


Typical Roofing

The typical roof membrane is made up of ethylene propolene diene monomers; also known as an EPDM Membrane, which is formed into uniform , flexible sheets, complying with ASTM D4637, Type 1. The membrane is of Class U: unreinforced with a nominal thickness of 90 mis and an exposed face color of white. Insulating Materials can be either Perlite Board Roof Insulation or Perlite/Polyisocyanurate Composite Board Roof Insulation. Flashing must be an elastomeric flashing sheet.

In the roofing construction, adhesives, sealants, and paints must be low-emitting and comply with the LEED specifications. The fasteners should be of at least sixty percent recycled steel as well as do other miscellaneous steel materials used on the roofing. Roof paver are specified as heavyweight concrete units.

Note:While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the infor- mation contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original buil- ding designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Cassandra Watson. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year-long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements.
