Roof system resilience anticipates a level of adverse climatic conditions exceeding minimum code requirements and is provided by designing and planning a roof system, including proper maintenance during operational use, that to have capabilities above current code requirements.
Resiliency (noun), as it relates to low-slope roofing systems, is defined as: the capability/ability to absorb and continue to perform after adverse climatic conditions occur, including but not limited to rain, wind, hail, fire, and/or unanticipated climatic phenomena, or any otherwise disruptive event above what the commonly intended purpose is or above what is reasonably expected to withstand, as defined by code minimums.
A resilient roof system will continue to be functional for the purpose of protecting human life and well-being, protect and maintain building contents, and allow a reasonable level of uninterrupted use of a building or facility with little or no repairs to the roof system.
