Since 1994, the I-Codes have served as models for almost all state and local building codes in the United States.

Our sister publication, Architectural Roofing & Waterproofing, hosts webinars each month as part of its ARW University series. 

 Sustainable roofing systems can be many things, but primarily they are assemblies that provide a covering protecting a building from the elements (i.e., water, sun, cold, and heat) while minimizing their burden on the environment and conserving energy.  

Maybe we’ve hit bottom and things are on the upswing after all.
