Sustainability and roofing: its time has arrived by Tom Hutchinson, AIA, RRC, CSI
Perhaps the best working definition of what I understand to be a sustainable roof system—and the definition the committee accepted provided key areas were addressed—was one used in the Proceedings of the Sustainable Low-Slope Roofing Workshop held at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) facility in Oak Ridge, Tenn., in October 1996. At the workshop, a sustainable roof was defined as:
A roof system that is designed, constructed, maintained, rehabilitated and demolished with an emphasis throughout its life cycle on using natural resources efficiently and preserving the global environment
