Sustainable Solutions
Designing for tomorrow
The long-term objectives of designing a sustainable roofing system are to keep the system in place as long as possible, avoid materials being dispatched to burial sites and to eliminate the use of new materials.
Energy economy, sustainability, efficient utilistation of raw materials and the reduction of waste must guide roofing design and specifications. More precisely, designing for sustainability must include materials and details which extend the useful lifetime of a roof and which are matched with a sustainable recovery plan.
In the future, manufacturers, designers and installers should be partners working together to help protect the environment by making sustainable development a priority.
For more information on sustainable roofing and for practical guidance in designing and specifying a sustainable roof read the following paper.
