AI for Roofing Design
AI applications for roof system design and analysis.
Definition
AI for roofing design helps specify and verify roofing systems. AI can analyze roof assemblies, verify drainage, check wind uplift resistance, and ensure code compliance. This improves roofing design quality and durability.
In Depth
Roofing design involves membrane selection, insulation configuration, drainage design, and the detailing at penetrations, edges, and transitions. AI assists with the system selection based on the building's requirements (wind uplift, energy code, fire rating) and the quality verification during installation.
The wind uplift analysis determines the required attachment method for the roofing system based on the ASCE 7 wind pressures at each roof zone. AI calculates the design wind pressures for the field, perimeter, and corner zones, then verifies that the specified roofing attachment meets the FM Global or SPRI requirements for each zone.
Examples
Analyzing roof drainage patterns
Checking wind uplift requirements
