Cold storage buildings are exceptional structures because they experience extremes in both internal temperature and humidity compared to typical buildings. Due to their distinctive nature, cold storage buildings require unique construction assemblies, including roof assemblies.
Rainwater mitigation and insulating goals can both be achieved in low-slope or flat roofs with optimized, project-specific tapered polyisocyanurate insulation panel designs and systems.

For roofs with large surface areas, the potential for large overburden installations, such as solar, vegetative roofing, or amenity decks can be exceptional.
The threat of climate change isn't just impacting the planet's temperature. Warmer conditions also create more severe weather events that are catching cities flatfooted. In addition to putting people at risk, these weather disasters also made it difficult or impossible to access the vital services — including hospitals — that they need in challenging times.
The benchmarks provide U.S. communities guidelines to determine the resilience of their housing stock and cover quantity, affordability, emergency shelters and homeownership.
During Design and Construction Week, the ICC Family of Companies sponsored a number of activities to network and learn about the latest trends and technologies in the building industry.
