The performance and durability of a roof are critical to the health, welfare, and safety of both building occupants and the building itself. This course examines the construction, materials, and best detailing practices that ensure the proper long-term performance of steep-pitch roofs. It describes and details layout options for assemblies of steep-pitch roofs and the key characteristics of roofing systems that help to prevent roof deterioration and damage. It then highlights best practices in detailing and constructing steep-pitch roof systems that mitigate water, ice, snow, fire, or wind damage to the roof.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Incorporate the key characteristics of roofing systems that provide safety and comfort for building occupants.
  • Design and detail durable roofs that create and maintain healthy indoor environments.
  • Employ best practices to create roofs that mitigate special conditions to avoid roof deterioration and damage that could affect the well-being of building occupants.
  • Specify the appropriate materials, layout options, and composition to create the best-performing, aesthetically pleasing, and longest-lasting steep-pitch roofs.
