Cellular Glass in High Performance Roofs: Reducing Risk by Design
Available On-demand Until September 21, 2022
Abstract:
Commercial roofs must be resilient, meaning they are designed to perform over the long run without compromising on the client’s commitment to sustainability. Cellular glass insulation delivers a portfolio of performance attributes — it’s impermeable, noncombustible, and resilient, not to mention its long-term thermal performance and compressive strength. This course will spotlight real-word roof assemblies that leverage cellular glass insulation to achieve performance without compromise. Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the composition of cellular glass insulation and identify its intrinsic value in building applications.
- Investigate how to design and specify roof assemblies to reduce risk of energy loss, moisture ingress, and other modes of roof failure.
- Identify the value of cellular glass insulation in sustainable construction by examining life cycle costs, service life, and recyclability.
- Select roof assemblies that meet fire and structural integrity requirements for the building application.

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.
