Tapered Design Center

Architects:

The Tapered Design Center provides consulting on all tapered insulation related projects. With the convenience of one of our designer/consultants meeting you at your office, we can help in designing or advising you on a tapered insulation layout that will fit your specific project needs.

The Tapered Design Center also provides a 1 hour presentation by way of The American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems.

Program Title: Designing and Specifying Low Slope Tapered Insulation Roof Systems

Length: 1 hour Credits: 1 (Learning Units) HSW: No

Program Overview: A study of methods of presenting, science and math of tapered design, and unique symbols required to provide specifications and plans for designing, evaluating, and constructing low slope tapered insulation roof systems.

Learning Objectives: The presentation is designed to help participants gain a better understanding of low slope roof systems. Discussion subjects include, but are not limited to: Over-all roof plans, dimensions, elevations, and insulation thickness; the roof assembly, direction of flow, insulation specifications, and taper panel availability; r-values and average formulas; cricket design, valley angles, and slope in valleys; correction for deck deflection.
