Put the Pedal to the Metal

Metal roofing and wall systems’ longevity, recyclability, and compatibility with retrofits and rooftop solar technology present an impressive sustainable scorecard
Sponsored by Metal Construction Association
Presented by Robert Summers

Learning Objectives:

  1. Define the primary advantages that metal roofs and walls offer in delivering a long-lasting, energy-efficient building enclosure.
  2. Identify the predominant aspects of metal roofing systems that make them highly compatible with rooftop solar technologies and life-cycle benefits.
  3. List key integrated building systems and strategies for maximizing energy and performance savings with metal roofing retrofits.
  4. Discuss case studies illustrating the sustainability of metal roofing and wall systems.

Sturdy, strong, and sustainable metal wall and roof panels are known for their durable and green features. Metal is almost unbeatable among building materials for its recyclable properties, and metal walls and roofs contribute to reduced energy consumption, as their well-known cool roofing properties reflect heat energy and absorb less heat, keeping buildings cooler and reducing air-conditioning costs.
