Lining It Up: Conveying Design Intent with Tapered Insulation
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate the roof plan layout and understand how it is read by roof contractors and other trades.
- Cover how tapered polyisocyanurate insulation panels function in regards to typical design intent.
- Convey accurate intent in your design including what key details are needed for the roof assembly.
- Assess how the updated 2021 IECC will affect the future of tapered polyiso insulation systems.

Tapered Insulation Systems add positive drainage to manage water flow, prevent water infiltration, as well as insulate buildings at the roof level. How does the design intent, mapped by design professionals not specialized in roofing, translate to tapered installations on low slope roofs? This webinar will cover just that. You will also earn about what key details need to be included for a high-performing, well-draining roof assembly and how the updated IECC will affect tapered insulation design.
