Sustainable Roofing: Building a Better Future

Sustainable Roofing: Building a Better Future

to take this course

In this one hour course, we will take an in-depth look at the sustainability and energy efficient attributes of concrete tile roofing, including the near zero-waste manufacturing process, life cycle cost and performance versus temporary asphalt shingle roofing as well as the installation processes which enhances the inherent thermal mass attributes of concrete tile roofing.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Evaluate the environmental impacts of leading sloped roof materials, such as asphalt shingles and metal roofs, in relation to health, safety, and welfare considerations, occupant safety, and overall building performance.
  2. Describe how sustainable concrete roofs can support LEED v4.1 BD+C goals such as energy efficiency and material transparency
  3. Explore how concrete roofs can help support LEED v4.1 BD+C resilient design goals and protect occupants from fire, high winds, extreme heat, and hailstorms
  4. Discuss how sustainable concrete roofs advance LEED v4.1 BD+C circular economy goals through material recycling and landfill waste reduction strategies
  5. Examine the performance and impacts of different roofing materials through case studies, focusing on their contributions to occupant safety, durability, and environmental welfare.
