A Decision-Making Framework for Vegetated Roofing System Selection
… or past experience. But since vegetated roofing is a relatively complex and comparatively new technology to many practitioners, a rational, explicit method to help organize and rank the trade-offs made during the design process is useful. This research comprises the creation of a …

Performance evaluation of mechanically attached roofing systems
Roofing system is an integral part of a building envelope. Keeping the roofs in place against high wind events is a challenging task for architects and roof designers. There are two stages in the design process: first, a comprehensive understanding of the wind induced loads on the roof system and, …

Human-Driven Extensive Greenroof Design
… medium, and plants either onto or integral to a roofing system. This paper explores extensive greenroofs, characterized by low-maintenance and shallow growing medium. Greenroof benefits (ecological, economical, aesthetic, psychological) are classified as: Market and Human. Further exploration of …

Design and Implementation of a Pressure-Equalizing Vent System for Low-Slope Roofs
… roof membrane. Existing pressure-equalized roof systems use the power of the wind to transmit low pressure to the space immediately beneath the roof membrane, pulling the membrane down to the roof surface. The object of this study is the design of a wind vent which, when coupled with a single-ply …
