Not in Kansas Anymore: Designing Wind-Resistant Membrane Roofs 

Presented by James Klassen, RCABC 

Register Online | Event Flyer

In December 2018 the BC Government released the latest edition of the British Columbia Building Code. New to the Code are detailed requirements for the design and construction of wind-resistant low-slope roofs. This presentation explores the reasons behind the changes, examines the design requirements of the BCBC, and reviews the options available to the Design Authority, for calculating wind-inducing roof loads and designing roof systems that will stay where they’re built. 

AIBC Members will receive 1 Core LU (Learning Unit) for attending this event.
