72 buildingoperatingmanagement SEPTEMBER 2011 savings and other sustainable strategies accumulated on a whole-building basis. Roofing materials can have an impact in three of these categories: Sustainable Sites, Energy and Atmosphere, and Materials and Resources. Roof systems can have an impact through thermal capacity, reflectivity and emissivity. Thermal capacity is achieved through higher R-values, predominantly from insulation. High thermal value insulation will reduce heat loss in the winter months, which decreases heating costs and energy capacity. LEED for New Construction’s credit for “heat island effect — roof” requires low-sloped roofs to have an SRI of 78 and steep-sloped roofs (roofs with greater than 2:12 pitch) Inspection Compliance from the Most Trusted Solution Worldwide BuildingReports web-based compliance reporting delivers more device specific data than just Pass/Fail! Trusted reporting data every facility needs: • 3rd Party Verification • Inventory & Warranty Report • Time/Date Inspected • Automated Product Recall Alerts • Service Authorizations 770.495.1993 | sales@buildingreports.com www.BuildingReports.com • Discrepancy Reports • 24/7 Access • NFPA Embedded Codes & Standards FireScan® SprinklerScan® rScan® SecurityScan® Scan® ExtinguisherScan® SuppressionScan® The world’s most trusted inspection reporting solution to have an SRI of 29. LEED points can also be achieved if any of the roof system materials are manufactured within 500 miles of the building site. Additional points can be accumulated if a member of the project team is a LEED accredited professional and for exceptional performance in innovation of application or design. Recyclable materials or materials manufactured from recycled products (some perlite and fiberboard insulations) can also provide LEED points on a project. The most recent regulation that will have an impact on the roofing industry is ANSI/ASHRAE 189.1 Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings. This new whole-building green code relies on ANSI/ASHRAE 90.1. The goal of the new standard is for buildings to be 30 percent more energy efficient then the 2007 version of ASHRAE 90.1. The standard covers all new buildings and new systems in existing buildings except low-rise residential buildings. This regulation provides the requirements for roof insulation R-values and reflective and emissivity requirements for every region of the country. It should be noted that ASHRAE 189.1 hasn’t yet been adopted on a widespread basis, but many experts expect that it will be soon. So it is a best practice to check the local codes on all of your projects. Due to this new focus on environmentally responsible roofing, there has been a concentrated effort by roofing manufacturers to produce products that meet the requirements spelled out in these green building initiatives. Recent Changes to Attachment Methods Although we are not seeing the sweeping system changes that we witnessed in the past decade, there are some material changes that will have an impact on the roofing industry. Many of these changes are occurring because of environmental issues or to reduce the amount of labor required. The biggest impact is in material application methods. With the substantial decrease in both hot applied and torch applied systems, there has been an increase in adhesive applications and mechanically attached systems.
