A new brochure explains reroofing clarifications in the upcoming 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). Released by Institute for Market Transformation (IMT), Center for Environmental Innovation in Roofing (the Center), and the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Associations (PIMA), the resource suggests most commercial reroofing projects involving the removal and replacement of an existing roof covering will need to be upgraded to the current IECC R-value levels. The document established definitions of various major roofing activities, including reroofing, roof cover, roof replacement, and roof repair. Additionally, illustrations of typical roofing conditions and a decision tree to determine specific compliance paths for roofing applications are available. A digital copy of “The International Energy Conservation Code as Applied to Commercial Roofing” can be found at polyiso.site-ym.com/?page=brochures.
