On October 9--10, 1996, a group of approximately 150 roofing professionals attended the Sustainable Low-Slope Roofing Workshop at Pollard Auditorium in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. A list of attendees is appended to the proceedings. For the purpose of the workshop, sustainable low-slope roofing was defined as a low-slope roofing system that is designed, constructed, maintained, rehabilitated, or demolished with an emphasis throughout its life-cycle on the efficient use of natural resources and the maintenance of the global environment. At the workshop, 20 papers regarding various aspects of sustainable roofing were presented. Issues such as durability, maintenance, energy considerations, the economics of sustainable construction, coatings, and case studies of sustainable roofing systems are discussed in the papers.
