- Resilience
- Sustainability
Climate Goals & Targets
Environmental Challenges
- Increased frequency and intensity of storms
- Value engineering leading to removal of coverboard
- Damage to roofs from displaced rooftop units
Mitigation Strategies
- Designing roofs with higher wind speeds than current standards require
- Using heavier gauge cleats and L-shaped cleats for edge metal
- Installing peel-restraint bars
- Using coverboard to improve impact resistance
- Using paver systems to protect roofs from impacts
- Strapping or tethering rooftop units
- Adhering all layers of insulation to prevent thermal bridging
- Using lightweight insulating concrete (LWIC) for reusability
- Using reflective roofs to reduce solar gain
- Mechanically fastening corners and perimeters of solar arrays
- Using dedicated battery storage for rooftop solar
