Single-skin metal roofing systems combine structural efficiency with verified wind, fire, and energy performance. This course examines how panel profiles, substrate metals, coatings, and fastening methods contribute to building durability and environmental performance. Learners explore industry standards, testing protocols, and detailing strategies that support code compliance and optimize long-term results. The program also addresses fabrication quality, installation practices, and warranty provisions that influence life-cycle value and alignment with green building objectives under the LEED® v4.1 Building Design and Construction rating system.

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

  • Identify the key features of single-skin metal roofing systems, including panel profiles, materials, and attachment methods, and describe how these factors influence durability, structural capacity, and compliance with applicable building codes.
  • Recall relevant codes and standards, including the International Building Code®, ASCE 7, UL, and ASTM standards, to ensure that metal roof assemblies meet criteria for wind uplift, fire classification, and energy performance in accordance with current safety and resilience benchmarks.
  • Identify the contribution of metal roofing to energy and environmental performance goals, including solar reflectivity, thermal emissivity, and compliance with the International Energy Conservation Code® and state-level energy codes that align with LEED v4.1.
  • Apply best practices for integration, detailing, and quality assurance—covering underlayments, transition detailing, fabrication standards, and warranty requirements—to support long-term performance, occupant well-being, and reduction of life-cycle environmental impact.
