A new PATH report, "Advanced Residential Roof Systems,"
outlines a research agenda for how the Partnership can
develop residential roof systems that serve multiple
functions and improve performance over existing systems.
This agenda for identifying potential advances in
residential roofs is based on the input of industry,
academic, and government leaders who drew upon their
specialized knowledge and years of experience. The report
details the current status of roofing markets, roof
coverings and other components, advanced systems and
research efforts, roof system installers, and performance
requirements. The scope of this projected research agenda
covers residential single-family type buildings, roofs of
all ranges of pitch, and roof systems encompassing all
components and subsystems from the top of the wall at the
ceiling to the roof covering. The report outlines five
sets of strategies aimed at achieving gains in (1) hazard
mitigation, (2) energy performance of roofs, (3) safety
and efficiency in roof system construction, (4) roof
functionality, and (5) improving the environmental impact
of roofs.
