What are you doing to address the urban heat island effect? This hot topic in the design industry has led to local governments following LEED and amending their building codes to combat the effect of traditional roofing materials. In this session, you'll discover materials and techniques that will help you bring sustainable roofing into your practice - meeting both the latest building codes and the demands of increasingly eco-conscious clients. Discover how "cool roofing" and "green roofing" can help elevate sustainability while also maintaining performance and controlling costs.

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

• By the end of this presentation, participants will understand several key roofing and waterproofing assemblies typically used.
• By the end of this presentation, participants will understand typical values or material performance requirements from minimum LEED and code requirements to maximum performance afforded by today's technology in order to assist them in determining what types of products and designs would best fit their project and location.
• By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to use the Cool Roof Ratings Council to locate product information mandated by new code amendments in many areas of the Country and LEED such as emissivity, reflectivity, and solar reflective index necessary to fight the Urban Heat Island Effect.
• By the end of this presentation, participants will have a general understanding of how traditional roofing systems contribute to the Urban Heat Island Effect in order to prompt them to more actively seek solutions to the problem both in roofing and other areas of their projects.
