Smart Blue Roof - Project Overview (view source)
Revision as of 15:00, 27 September 2023
, 1 year ago→Station 1 – Roof Surface
The roof membrane installed on the SBR is a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) membrane, which was liquid-applied and rolled on like paint. By using a liquid-applied membrane, the roof surface has no seams that could lend themselves to leaks on the roof. The SBR has four (4) roof drains and two (2) overflow pipes that direct rainwater to the basement cistern. The roof surface also has two (2) redundant overflow mechanisms called scuppers that can direct rainwater to the foot of the building in the extremely unlikely event that both overflow pipes fail. The SBR is not expected to overflow for over 100 years…
