January 2020 Lunch ‘n Learn – Metal Roof Design and Implementation

IIBEC – Canadian Prairies is hosting a Lunch ‘n Learn talk on “Metal Roof Design and Implementation” at the Calgary Construction Association. In this presentation we will review the process of metal roofing design and explain why many current specifications are inadequate and do not meet required design parameters. Some of the objectives of this talk will include:
• Explaining what slope requirements are required for different systems, and the limitations of the same.
• Why numerous recent project designs are beginning to fail.
• The difference between assemblies and their impact on the NECB requirements
• Some solutions for meeting the new Energy Code requirements for new construction projects.
This talk is also a follow-up to Stephen Teal’s January 2013 article in Interface.

This talk is being presented by Stephen Teal, GRP. This Lunch ‘n Learn is good for 1.5 CEHs.
