1 Winter Weather Roofing: Cold, Hard Facts Winter is not a season, it's an occupation. Sinclair Lewis Peter Kalinger, Technical Director Canadian Roofing Contractors Association kalinger@roofingcanada.com

3 Winter Construction
4 Winter Construction POST WWII Governments looked to construction to stimulate growth and provide jobs. Construction provided a huge untapped industry for labor. Seasonality, winter stoppage of construction presented a significant barrier to full employment.
5 Winter Construction costing the nation (private owners and taxpayers) at least $3 to $4 billion a year in economic waste, creating unnecessary hardship for some 4.6 million workers Except for agriculture, construction has the greatest seasonal variation of any major industry division. Its employment is characterized by summer peaks and winter valleys and the industry takes more money out of the employment insurance system than it puts in. Report by R.J. Myers, Deputy Commissioner of Labor Statistics on construction seasonality
6 Winter Construction In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson directed the Secretary of Labor to make a detailed survey of seasonal employment and underemployment and find ways of dealing with these problems. He later directed the heads of various government departments to reduce seasonal unemployment.
7 Barriers to Winter Construction Assumption that : Winter weather requires additional planning and increased costs Traditional construction materials and practices Seasonal patterns in consumer demand Project specifications that inhibit winter work Patterns of distrust and prejudice against winter work among architects, engineers, owners and the public D.O. Mills, M.I.T., 1968 seminar on Seasonality in Construction
8 Benefits of Winter Construction Fights inflation The cost of building in winter must be compared with the cost of building next summer-not last summer Retains key personnel Spreads overhead costs Speeds up supply deliveries (better prices in slack period) Reduces summer overtime Maintains productivity of workers and machines (vs start & stop operation) Eliminates costs of startup and shutdown Provides better use of owners resources

36 Materials Materials
37 Materials Built-up Roofing B.U.R. and M.B.M. can be applied to temperatures as low as -15 F (-26 C)- CRCA Specifications Manual
38 Single Ply Membranes Minimum installation temperatures determined by worker comfort and safety Temperature at which adhesives can be used
39 Winter Weather Issues Adhesion In a fully bonded system, uniform securement of the components to the deck is crucial for Wind uplift resistance Dissipating temperature induced stresses that cause membrane movement (ridges, buckles, splitting)
40 Winter Weather Issues Wind uplift resistance
41 Winter Weather Issues Adhesion Temperature induced stress
42 Winter Weather Issues Results of thermal movement
43 Winter Weather Issues: B.U.R. Asphalt cooling occurs rapidly under winter conditions A temperature drop 45 to 75 F may occur from the time the asphalt is drawn from the kettle to when it is applied. Need to heat above acceptable limits
44 Asphalt Temperatures Factors affecting heating temperatures: - weather conditions; - distance of the kettle from application
45 Asphalt Cooling During asphalt application in the field, peak contact temperatures were 50 to 75 F lower than the temperature in the asphalt kettle. Under certain ambient conditions asphalt applied to insulation dropped 50 F in temperature in 2 to 7 s. Raising the kettle temperature may be the only effective means of maintaining proper peak temperatures.
46 Asphalt Temperatures Factors affecting rate of cooling: Asphalt application temperatures Quantity and thermal properties of the asphalt Ambient temperature and wind speed Temperature and thermal properties of underlying components
47 Asphalt Cooling A S P H A LT MODEL: VARIOUS SUBSTRATES Substrate: 1. Concrete 2. Steel 3. Plywood 4. Felt/PUF 5. Fiberglass T E M P ( F) COOLING TIME (s) (air & substrate temp are 19 F, wind speed = 0 m/h)
48 Asphalt Cooling Asphalt often needs to be above recommended kettle temperatures to obtain EVT SP fallback occurs at these temperatures. Dangerously close to flashpoint temperatures (CSA-500 F)
49 Single Ply Adhesives & Primers
50 Membrane Adhesives Single Ply solvent based adhesives temperature limits, flash-off, condensation
51 Solvent Adhesives & Primers Blushing -solvent based Adhesive Evaporative cooling of the material during drying lowers the surface temperature at or below the dew point temperature. Water vapour in air condenses on the surface of the adhesive inhibiting adhesion. Greater risk of blushing in early morning and late afternoon (less solar radiation). Scheduling the application of adhesives near midday when the difference between ambient and dew point temperatures is greatest.
52 Low VOC Adhesives Prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures can cause the adhesive to thicken. Drying time is affected by temperature, clouds/sun, humidity, and shade. Low VOC Bonding Adhesive takes more time to flash off. Must be stored unopened at elevated temperatures. Typically 60 to90 F.

54 Polyurethane Adhesives
55 Polyurethane Adhesives One component polyurethane Moisture cured Minimum application temperature of 33 F and rising Not suitable for winter construction Two Component Chemically cured, exothermic reaction Winter and regular grade formulations Steel decks must be clean and free from ice, snow.
56 Polyurethane Adhesives Two Component: Reaction time varies with temperature

63 SA Membranes Minimum application temperatures range from 14 F to 25 (-10 to -4 C) Type of substrate and substrate surface temperature affect adhesion
64 SA Membranes
65 Materials All roofing materials have cold weather limitations In-service performance will depend on how they were installed under cold weather conditions Installations must be closely monitored Know when to quit

71 Wetting Vs. Drying Wetting from vapor diffusion
72 Air Leakage
73 Air Leakage
74 Air intrusion When conditioned indoor air enters into a building envelope assembly but cannot escape to the exterior environment.
75 Waterborne Adhesives
76 AIR Research Study Partnership of NRCA, CRCA, SPRI, and NRCC to carry out extensive research on air leakage and intrusion in mechanically fastened single ply systems.
77 Limiting Moisture Accumulation Construction and in-service moisture accumulation due to diffusion, air leakage and air intrusion can be controlled by: Adequate ventilation during construction Dehumidification prior to building occupancy Sealing gaps between building envelope assemblies gaps around penetrations and steel deck end laps Using multiple layers of insulation (a minimum of two) with staggered joints to help retard warm, moist air flow from the interior of the building into the roofing assembly
78 Mod-bit Membranes
79 Increased Insulation National Energy Code for Buildings (2010) 79
80 Increased Insulation Thickness Increasing insulation thickness may adversely affect roof performance. 80
81 Increased Insulation Thickness 81
82 Winter Weather Roofing Conclusions Winter weather roofing is difficult, costly and high risk We ve been attempting to find solutions since the 1950 s Advanced materials and techniques have not been a panacea Perhaps it s time to think out of the box.
