Abstract:
Protected Roof Membrane Assemblies and particularly Vegetative Roof Assemblies place extreme requirements on the components below the surface from waterproofing to insulation and everything in between. Each component must meet specific standards to achieve energy efficiency and durability. This webinar describes the high-performance attributes of PRMA components and defines the building code/performance standards and best specification practices to meet fire, wind, thermal, and moisture performance. Learning Objectives:
- Identify physical property difference between XPS, EPS, and Polyiso foam plastic insulation.
- Understand unique requirements of Protected Roof Membrane Assemblies (PRMAs) and Vegetative Roof Assemblies (VRAs).
- Understand key building code requirements for PRMAs and VRAs.
- Identify best installation practices to avoid common pitfalls during design, approval, installation, and maintenance of the PRMA roof type.

Tiffany Coppock Commercial Building Systems Specialist Owens Corning Tiffany Coppock, AIA, NCARB, CSI, CDT, LEED AP, ASTM, RCI, EDAC is the Commercial Building Systems Specialist at Owens Corning where she provides leadership in building science, system development, testing, and documentation. As new systems transition into use, and for existing systems and products, she provides technical guidance integrating the entire building envelope for design professionals as well as Owens Corning teams. Formerly, Tiffany was a Building Science Manager answering technical questions on hundreds of projects, reviewing drawings and specifications, and presenting educational sessions. Prior to manufacturing, Tiffany worked several years at an architecture firm in Durham, NC designing healthcare and preservation projects. She is a registered architect with specialization in healthcare and historic preservation. Tiffany is also a former CSI leader and voting member on several ASTM committees. To remain relevant and give back to the industry, she volunteers her expertise on pro-bono healthcare design projects as well as being a member of the Dallas AIA’s Disaster Assistance Trained team. She recently rescued her mom’s childhood home, an 1893 Craftsman/ Queen Anne stunner, and now spends weekends restoring it while documenting the process online. Tiffany earned her Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University and Masters of Architecture from the University of Colorado. While at ease in the air-conditioned comfort of the office, she owns several pairs of muddy boots and is no stranger to hands-on application and detailing of multiple building products.
