Abstract
This report presents a long-range plan for roofing research. The plan was developed in response to a need for roofing research addressing major materials problems and changes in low-slope roofing materials technology. The intent of the plan is to establish the technical basis for developiong standards and minimum levels of performance to assist in the selection of cost-effective and durable roofing materials. Four major areas of needed research are identified: low-slope roof systems; roofing membranes including single ply and built up; thermal insulation for roofing systems; and condition assessment and repair of roofs. Within each research area, a goal is given as well as a number of objectives to achieve the goal. A recommended approach to accomplish each objective also is given.
