Abstract
Roof system management can be an effective tool for keeping track of selection, maintenance, and long term performance of roor systems. The NRCA currently lists over 1,300 different roof membrane products and systems that are available to building owners. On any large facility, it would not be useful to find dozens of different types of roof systems in use. Each roof system has its own maintenance requirements and life cycle performance characteristics. This presentation is oriented toward reviewing available roof life cycle data and management systems, and suggeting some key elements that should be included in a roof management system. An effective roof management system can also utilize past peformance, material proerties, and life expectancy databases to sort t hrough and select the optimal systems for the next re-roofing projec.t This presentation will review available life expectancy data for differnt types of roof systems, and summarize key factors that will have a large influence on life expectancy. Much o fhte data presented is derived from actural surveys and life cycle predictions from several commercially available roof management software packates, and published studies on expected life for many different types of roof systms.
