Abstract
This paper presents an overview of data for low slope roofs collected for the Building Envelope Life Cycle Asset Management (BELCAM) project. The data are from approximately 600 roofs from seven climatic regions across Canada. The data set consists of conventionally constructed built up roofs, modified bituminous roofs and a limited number of single ply roofing systems. The roofs were surveyed from 1998 to 2000 using microRoofer for data collection. These data, collected by roofing experts primarilhy working for government or para-government organizations, are categorized by climatic region, roof age, condition, and membrane, flashing and insulation type. Regional breakdowns are also presented. These data provide a good representation of existing roofs managed by large building owners in Canada. This data set is used in BELCAM to calculate the remaining service life of low slope roofs.
