【 摘 要 】

The past decade has seen the world building committee strive to ensure the energy efficiency of our built environment. A building's roof is often the most effective envelope in conserving energy. The roof system, if designed properly, can mitigate energy loss or gain and allow the building's mechanical systems to function properly for occupant comfort. Energy conservation is increasingly being viewed as an important performance objective for governmental, educational, commercial and industrial construction. Interest in the conserving of energy is high and is being actively discussed at all levels of the building industry: Governmental, Codes and Standards and Trade Organizations. As with many systems it is the details that are the difference between success and failure. This presentation will be based on the author's 35 years of roof system design and infield empirical experience and will review key design elements in the detailing of energy conserving roof systems. Best design and detail practices for roofing to achieve conservation will be delineated, in field examples reviewed and details provided.
