Although roof edge systems are a small percentage of overall building costs, 60% of building-related litigation claims come from the roof area – making the perimeter roof edge the first line of defense in a wind event. Presented by Duro-Last® Roofing’s EXCEPTIONAL® Metals division, the ES1-Compliant industry leader in single-ply roof accessories, this webinar will explore the importance of quality roof edges.
- Name three organizations that were involved in developing standards for the perimeter roof edge prior to the adoption of the ANSI/SPRI ES-1 standard by the International Building Code.
- List the three test procedures that are performed as part of the ANSI/SPRI ES-1 requirement.
- Delineate the five key elements of the roof that affect the performance of the roof edge treatment, as considered in the ANSI/SPRI ES-1 calculation.
- Calculate the adjusted velocity pressures for the coping top, coping face, and coping back of a perimeter roof edge under the ANSI/SPRI ES-1 standard.
