Roofing Symposium

As building enclosure systems continue to evolve, architects and building science professionals must balance sustainability, durability and multidisciplinary coordination. This educational symposium explores two critical topics shaping modern roof design: advances in thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing systems and the integration of lightning protection with the building enclosure. Attendees will gain practical insights into sustainable roofing strategies, innovations that improve long-term system performance, and the importance of coordinating rooftop systems throughout a building's lifecycle. Through expert-led presentations and real-world project examples, participants will discover design considerations and best practices that help create resilient, high-performing roof assemblies for today's increasingly complex buildings.
