The annex was formed to address energy issues related to low slope roof systems. The first task undertaken was the development of a sourcebook on good practices for design, installation and maintenance of insulated roof systems. The intent of the sourcebook is to provide a discussion of both real and perceived correlations between roof systems and to present information on recent roofing issues that have insulation implications. Annex members have identified and reviewed a list of 25 potential correlations between roof problems and insulation.
Describes the French ACERMI Certification governing thermal insulation. It aims at setting competition between products according to objective bases on both a national and international level; making it possible for the users to select products easily and under optimal saving conditions; and ensuring them, without their having to check, that the product delivered to them has the characteristics expected.
