A Deep Dive into Sustainable Metal Roofing and Siding

Metal roofing and siding panels come in a wide choice of metals, profiles, and attachment systems. Choosing the best system for your project involves balancing style with performance demands, climatic conditions, and cost. This course presents best practices for metal panel selection and discusses the features and merits of high-aesthetic options, such as copper and COR-TEN products.

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

• Describe the metals used for roofing and siding panels, their performance characteristics, and why they are considered sustainable materials.
• Discuss key design considerations for metal roofing, including factors that impact building resiliency, such as photovoltaic systems and resistance to extreme weather or wildfire conditions.
• Describe how materials that patinate, particularly COR-TEN steel, increase roofing and siding longevity without the use of potentially toxic coatings or cleaning products.
• Identify how metal roofing and siding products can contribute toward LEED v5 Building Design and Construction credits.
