Codes, Standards, and Compliance… Oh My
Navigating Codes and Standards in Regard to Single-Ply Roofing Systems
Sponsored by IB Roof Systems | Presented by Chadwick Collins
Webinar On-Demand
A review of the general requirements of the IBC for roofing (Chapter 15) and how SPRI resources can assist with a path to compliance. This review would include a discussion on SPRI’s sponsored Directory of Roof Assemblies (DORA), the library of ANSI standards, starting with the ones referenced in the IBC, and how the others can be useful tools toward roof design. Other resources that supplement or clarify common roof concerns related to single-ply roofing systems will also be addressed.
