Abstract
The objective of this research is to measure air intrusion in mechanically attached roofing systems and understand its impact on the moisture loads. This additional research was to complement the SIGDERS research activity of air intrusion mainly from moisture management perspective to show how air intrusion expedites moisture transport and condensation in the membrane roofing systems.
