Selecting the best roofing assembly for schools and healthcare facilities means focusing on project constraints including timeline, weather, facility operations, and occupants. Roof integrity and performance cannot be compromised as functionality, durability, and energy efficiency must come together to create the roof assembly that is best for each individual facility.

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.

Building science and construction (methods/types) come together in cold storage buildings. The unique idea of an “always cold” interior pushes the discussion about vapor drive and air intrusion of the enclosure of a cold storage building to a higher level.
