Abstract
An important consideration in roof system design is the environment in which a roof system will be exposed, but often little more than foot traffic and the weather are factored into the designs. Roofs must be able to withstand not only meteorological phenomena but also all the other things to which roofs are exposed. The purpose a building serves, the purposes nearby buildings serve and the location of equipment for other trades all play a role in a roof system’s ability to perform well.
