Roof Technology and Science I

Description
This course covers topics relevant to the practice of roof consulting and related roofing activities including the design, manufacture, installation, observation, inspection, and maintenance of roof components and assemblies. Content includes a brief history of roofing; terminology and technical information regarding roof system types and roof decks; moisture behavior and condensation control; roof insulation; heat transfer through roofs; bitumens and bituminous built-up roof membranes and surfacing materials; modified bitumen membranes; single-ply membranes, spray polyurethane foam roofing, and protected membrane roof assemblies.

Objectives
Learning Objective 1: Relate the history and evolution of roofing from its beginnings up to present-day common applications.

Learning Objective 2: Recognize key roofing terms, common roofing assemblies and their components.

Learning Objective 3: Explain mechanisms of water and vapor movement and heat transfer in roofs.

Learning Objective 4: Articulate the nature, function, use, and limitations of roof components from roof decks through membranes, with a focus on low-slope roof assemblies.

Learning Objective 5: Describe the formulation, characteristics, installation procedures, and quality assurance metrics for low-slope membrane types including built up roofs, modified bitumen, fluid-applied, single-ply, and spray polyurethane foam.
