Abstract
Roof sytems that fial to perform are expensive in environmental terms. Initially there is a wastage of time and resources allocated to drying out water leakage or condensation, and often requiring the making good of decoratvie finishes. Over a longer period of time, the life span of the roofs is reduced such that materials need to be replaced more frequently. Ineffective themral insulation increases the energy demand of a building, which from a global energy conservation perspective is highly undesirable.
