Evolving regulations, protecting the environment, reducing our carbon emissions, pushing for innovation and budget constraints means that designing roofing has never been more complex and challenging.
The AT Roofing Design and Specification Best Practice seminar is a free-to-attend half-day Architecture Today Technical Seminar, in association with AccuRoof, the dedicated specification arm of SIG Roofing, exploring roofing systems and the possibilities for design, structural and environmental performance.
In our latest technical seminar and roofing clinic, join us to hear from industry-leading experts with technical expertise covering the latest innovations and design, specification and installation best practice in the following areas:
Biosolar – best practice design and specification
- What is Biosolar and what are the benefits of both green and solar roofs in a single integrated and accessible system?
- How can biosolar systems help us achieve both carbon net-zero and biodiversity net gain?
- How should specifiers incorporate biosolar in the design and specification process?
Hard Metal Roofing systems – specification to installation
- Understanding design, materials and methods of construction to delivering architectural intent
- How should architects approach the specification of metal roofs in the current economic climate?
- How is market volatility effecting what’s been happening in the metal roofing sector and which materials have been most affected?
Counting costs and – where not to cut corners!
- How are changing market conditions impacting the price of roofing materials?
- Where do the main costs lie when considering different roofing options?
- What can specifiers do to ensure their designs provide value for money, while remaining aesthetically pleasing and achieving high levels of performance?
- How important is good detailing in terms of cost control and what are the key areas to consider?
Drainage best practice – understanding falls and upstands
- What are the key principles of flat roof drainage?
- How high should a flat roof upstand be?
- Falls and upstands best practice covering BS 6229:2003 and BS EN 12056-3
- How to deal with level thresholds and exceptions?
Delegates will hear from experts through presentations and be able to pose specific project related questions or more general questions about a particular roofing solution or challenge and have the opportunity to participate in conversations with experts and other delegates sharing their own experience, knowledge and solutions to problems with roofing experts providing insight and guidance.
