A recent roofing industry survey regarding insulation reuse in low-slope roofing indicates that the issues of moisture concentration, amount of roof area that is wet, structural integrity of the insulation, and thermal performance loss are the major concerns regarding re-covering over an existing roofing system that contains wetted insulation. To address these concerns and to develop data on insulation reuse criteria, a consortium made up of SPRI and its member companies, the Roof Consultants Institute (RCI), and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), have undertaken a project to re-cover a failed roofing system containing moisture and to monitor the performance of that roofing system after the re-roofing.
