CEU: As the roofing industry advances in product technology, building codes, and standards the combination can create unforeseen consequences. One consequence has been moisture migration from different sources entering into the roof assembly effecting long-term performance of the assembly and products. Since these conditions can be unnoticed for a time, it is important to review how the moisture moved into the roofing assembly, the unintentional results, and the details that where overlooked. Though it is important to understand the consequences, what can be done to make sure those consequences are mitigated or corrected through the design process is more important.
