Architectural Resilience: Single-Ply Roof & Metal Panel Wall Systems
Eliminating critical failure areas within the building envelope
Sponsored by Kingspan Roofing + Waterproofing
This Lunch & Learn examines critical failure areas within the building envelope, with a focus on roof-to-wall transitions, penetrations, terminations, joints, and other vulnerable interfaces. Attendees will explore common failure modes, resilient detailing strategies, and the role of testing, codes, and specifications in reducing risk, improving occupant safety and indoor environmental quality, and supporting long-term building continuity under changing climate and environmental conditions.
