The roofing industry and BRE have teamed up to assess the problems posed by
climate change and the possible solutions.
Project Overview
The effects of climate change are already being noticed in the U.K. Key
periods for the predicted changes fall into the lifetime of existing
buildings but greater changes are likely to be endured by new
buildings.
This project will provide many parts of industry with the
information they need on climate change by examining the impact that
predicted climate changes will have on roofs.
Discussions with the supply chain and with roof insurers will allow modifications to
existing design and good practice to be made to ensure that
buildings continue to perform under the changing climatic
conditions.
