Abstract
Building energy codes and standards, such as ASHRAE 90.1, Energy standard for buildings except low-rise residential buildings; the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); and the National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB), provide minimum requirements for the design of energy-efficient roofs. They also present approaches to determine the thermal transmittance (U-value) of the roof assembly, but they are limited to roof assemblies with continuous insulation.
