A roof is an integral assembly of a building envelope and the 2005 North American roofing market was more than $25 billion Canadian.The North American roofing community has also made significant advancement in the dynamic wind evaluation of commercial roofs through a North American roofing consortium, Special Interest Group for the Dynamic Evaluation of Roofing Systems (SIGDERS). SIGDERS was established to develop a North American wind uplift test standard for roofing systems under dynamic conditions in 1994. This paper also presents results from the SIGDERS ongoing research effort, including an overview of a new publication, 'A Guide for the Wind Design of Mechanically Attached Flexible Membrane Roofs'.
