The Alberta Roofing Contractors Association (ARCA) will hold a “Single-ply Membrane Education Day” on February 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Members of the CSC Edmonton Chapter have been invited to this event.
The members of the Edmonton Chapter have been invited to Rooferama, an annual event organized by the Alberta Roofing Contractors Association (ARCA). The event will take place at the Edmonton Inn & Conference Centre on Wednesday, February 13, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Accurate assessment of the watertightness of new and existing roofs can potentially save building owners hundreds of millions of dollars annually. The challenge for roofing specifiers is choosing the most effective exterior-to-interior watertightness evaluation techniques because there is no single, straightforward method to accurately assess water ingress. It is, however, possible to obtain reliable information on the watertightness resistance and condition of an existing roof system by combining water-detection methods.
Even in winter, immediate replacement of roof systems could be an absolute necessity, depending on the severity of leaks and the interior environment the roof is supposed to protect. Contingent on the size of the roof, its complexity, and contractor availability, there may be time to squeeze in the replacement before snow falls. While roofing can be performed during the cold, winter months, there are many challenges that must be addressed by designers, contractors, and owners. These difficulties can be amplified when reroofing over an occupied facility.
Architects can integrate solar arrays into building designs instead of adding them as an afterthought. As solar photovoltaic (PV) technology matures and design options expand, everything from the colour of frames to the tint of the glass can be selected.
Join the Calgary Chapter as they host a meeting on roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) systems. The breakfast meeting will take place on Tuesday, January 8, from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at the Winston Golf and Country Club.
Thermoplastic membranes can meet a variety of different building requirements by offering a range of options in new construction, retrofit, and tear-off/reroofing situations. They also offer excellent resistance to UV degradation, and ozone and chemical exposure.
A revitalized and expanded recreational facility has opened in Oakville, Ont., to meet the needs of a diverse and growing community. Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects, the Trafalgar Park Community Centre transforms a site that has been a community hub for more than 60 years.
Experiments conducted by RDH Building Science, National Research Council Canada (NRC), and a manufacturer of insulation materials have confirmed the presence of gaps between boards of insulation will cause a reduction in its R-value.
