SPRI, Needham, Mass., the organization representing sheet membrane and component suppliers to the commercial roofing industry, has developed a comprehensive, day-long program on factors to consider regarding the wind resistance of low-slope roofing systems.
The course covers a wide range of topics, from wind effects on buildings and how they act on different types of roof systems, to the ways that wind loads are referenced by industry organizations like Factory Mutual Research Corp. and the American Society of Civil Engineers. SPRI’s own publications on wind issues, which include the SPRI Wind Design Guide as well as its ANSI/SPRI RP-4 and ES-1 standards, are also discussed.
