Webinar: Air Permeability in Pitched Roofing Systems

In this webinar, Keira Proctor, Managing Director of the Proctor Group, explores the complexities of pitched roof design, focusing on air permeability and its impact on roof performance. The session covers how heat, air, and moisture interact within roof structures, the importance of airtightness and diffusion resistance, and the latest standards and solutions for managing moisture and condensation risks in various roof types. Practical guidance is provided on codes of practice, material choices, and innovative approaches such as air and vapour permeable membranes, with special attention to modern challenges like integrated photovoltaic panels.
