SUMMARY:September 2025: Watershed Moments in Roof Drainage History
DESCRIPTION:Agenda:\n11:00 AM to 1:30 PM\n11:00 AM – 11:30 AM – Check In and Network\n11:30 AM – 12:00 PM – Lunch and Announcements\n12:00 PM – 1:15 PM – Presentation\n1:15 PM – 1:30 PM – Questions\n1:30PM – Adjourn\n \nIn-Person ONLY Meeting\nCOST\nIn-Person Members – $20\nIn-Person Non-Members – $30\nJoin us Tuesday, September 9th for our next BEC Presentation!\n \nSave the date!\n \nJoin us September 9th, 2025 for a meeting hosted by Kraus Anderson.\n \n501 S 8th St, Minneapolis, MN 55404\n \nWatershed Moments in Roof Drainage History: A study of interactions between precipitation management for the roof and enclosure lifespan\n \n \nCourse Description:\n \nThe ability of steep- and shallow-sloped roofs to properly manage rainwater and snow accumulation directly impacts their long-term durability and lifespan, in addition to that of other assemblies within the building enclosure.  The entire roof drainage system, including the components that convey the precipitation once it has left the roof, all need to work in accord to ensure that premature roof failure or collapse are avoided, and that the building enclosure can satisfactorily fulfill its intended use.\n \nDrawing on case studies including condition assessments and failure investigations, this presentation will review both lessons learned and current industry practices for the design and construction of roof drainage and will offer suggestions of best practices for consideration moving forward.\n \n \nLearning Objectives:\n\nParticipants will develop a better understanding of the relationship between steep slope roof drainage zones and the likelihood of roofing failures\nParticipants will gain perspective around current practices of design professional engagement and resulting roof drainage strategies\nParticipants will learn about case studies where lack of end-to-end precipitation management resulted in enclosure component failures not associated with the roof\nParticipants will learn about the interaction between degree of roof slope and progressive deflection leading to ponding instability\n\n \nPresented by Jon Porter\nCredit Line: “Anthony Gilbert © Gaffer Photography”\nJon Porter is the Director of Building Science at Kraus Anderson Construction. In his role at KA, Jon focuses on building performance, with particular focus on the exterior enclosure and interior finishes.  He serves as a technical resource to project teams in relation to means and methods, constructability, building materials technology, workflow and sequencing, proper installation techniques, and testing and acceptance protocols.  A licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Minnesota, Jon has 30 years of design and construction experience, including roles in forensic investigation of design and construction failures and as an owner’s representative.\nBachelor of Civil Engineering, Cleveland State University\nMinnesota Licensed Professional Engineer\nAmerican Institute of Architects (AIA), Associate Member\nBuilding Enclosure Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Forensics\nEvent Sponsor – Food\nWhat do you get for $100?\n\nCompany Logo on the BEC-MN Website for this event as well as on a Large Poster Board for all to see at the event as well as recognition at the beginning of the presentation.\nPrice includes one event ticket.
