Abstract
A methodology was developed to estimate the thermal performance of existing low-sloped roof systems. The methodology was based on a review of available information and experience. Roof system thermal resistance is used as the thermal performance characterization parameter. The procedure for determining total roof thermal resistance is described, including measurement and calculation methods, and adjustments for moisture intrusions, insulation gaps and fasteners.
