Locating mechanical and electrical equipment on a roof is often necessary for space and efficiency in a building design. However, it can be challenging to provide a means for safe maintenance access while preserving the roof membrane and structural integrity and not interfering with other rooftop equipment. This course presents the components that comprise rooftop support systems designed to solve these challenges, as well as system design considerations and compliance with the International Building Code® (IBC®) and the International Mechanical Code® (IMC®).

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Specify the appropriate finish for rooftop support system materials to ensure their longevity in the environmental conditions to which they will be exposed.
  • Explain how rooftop support systems preserve roof and structural integrity and provide secure, stable surfaces for equipment longevity and safe maintenance access.
  • Discuss how wind and seismic loads, the weight of the equipment, and roof preservation factor into the design of safe, durable rooftop support systems.
  • Recall the sections of the IBC and IMC that should be referenced when designing rooftop equipment and support systems.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
