Abstract
Facilities with cold interior environments store cold goods, house foodprocessing lines and have a multitude of other uses. When constructing a roof system on a cold-storage facility, workmanship and attention to detail are critical. A tiny air leak that would be of little to no consequence in a roof system on an office building can lead to moisture and/or ice formation on a cold-storage facility, as well as endless service calls from the facility owner. Understanding special details and tolerances required for cold-storage facilities can help when designing and constructing roof systems to meet these challenges, which become greater the colder the interior environment.
