An Overview of Protected Membrane Roof Assemblies

According to building professionals, the solution to achieving an energy-efficient building envelope is to focus more on the roof. Protected membrane roof (PMR) assemblies deliver thermal efficiency and can play a valuable role in a sustainable design strategy. Presented in this course is a review of the components, advantages, ballast options, and design and installation considerations of PMR assemblies.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• List the three key elements of a successful waterproofing installation.
• Define the components (and their functions) that comprise a PMR assembly that combine to create a durable, long-lasting roof.
• Discuss the benefits of a PMR assembly, including how it can contribute to LEED® certification.
• Define the types of PMR assemblies that are available and explain how they may be utilized in a variety of energy-efficient roof designs, including green roofs, blue roofs, cool roofs, and solar panel installations.
• State the design and installation considerations of a PMR assembly that are required to facilitate a successful installation.
