Knowledge Zone: The Science of Cold Roof Design
A FREE lunchtime webinar to talk about the details, specifications and benefits of Cold Roofs. 10 CPD points (NZRAB) & 1 LBP point.
Description
The presentation describes key differences between a warm roof and a cold roof, which are typically used in commercial and residential installation. The design and installation of the roof structure have a significant influence on the hygrothermal performance of not only occupied spaces but also the in-wall and in-roof cavities, which can hide health and durability problems before they become visible.
The design and installation of the building envelope play a key part in the performance of the roof, and the presentation will touch on the water, thermal and air-tightness layers of the building envelope.

- Presenter: Ben Ingledew, Regional Sales Manager - Canterbury
