SUMMARY:Steep Slope Roofing Perspectives & Learning to Design for Performance and Sustainability: Dawn Discussions
DESCRIPTION:Steep Slope Roofing Perspectives provides architects with knowledge about unique asphalt shingle granules\, the benefits of polymer modified asphalt manufacturing and how a roofing shingle is sustainable. \nThe primary goal of this  1 hour presentation is to provide architects and designers with information to ensure they are designing buildings with smarter\, more sustainable roofing systems. The session will unlock the secrets of asphalt shingles and show you how to elevate your specification with cutting-edge advancements. \nThis course will show the differences between different asphalt types: How shingles have evolved with modern manufacturing innovations that boost performance. You will be able to identify how polymer modified asphalt can contribute to a healthier environment and a longer life cycle when compared with oxidized shingle products. \nLearn how granules work smarter: Learn how smog-reducing granules help take the NO2 nitrates and reduce them to a fertilizer falling to the ground with the next dew or rainfall. Understand how solar reflective granules cool the roof\, along with algae resistant granules that reduce black streaking. \nWe will teach you the Five-Step System and the value of integrating a complete roofing system. You will see how warranties are a “value-add” to any project specification\, while utilizing a certified installer. \n  \nSpeaker:\n \nSpecification Manager\, Linda McCandless with Malarkey Roofing Products \nLinda has been promoting various exterior envelope options for over 25 plus years. Her focus has been on the exterior wall with fluid applied and peel and stick WRB\, Rainscreen Systems and facade development. Moving to the roof has been a recent move\, but shares a common system with the water shedding exterior.  \n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\nAIA CES: 1 LU|HSW approved \n1. Identify how Specialized Granules can make a difference in performance and to the environment. \n2. Identify the differences between an Oxidized and Polymer Modified Asphalt and how Polymer Modified Products can contribute to a healthier environment and longer lifecycle when compared to Oxidized Products. \n3. Identify Substrate\, Underlayment\, and Ventilation Requirements and the importance of underlayment and the value of integrating a\ncomplete roofing system. \n4. Understand the importance of Certified Installers and Warranties to back them up. \n  \nSponsored by:
