    The document discusses building enclosure systems and components. It describes how buildings are enclosed with walls and a roof to maintain an interior environment while excluding outside weather. Roofs are the upper portion constructed to separate the interior from outdoors. Roof types include sloped metal, asphalt shingles, clay/concrete tiles, and green roofs. Wall types include masonry, wood, metal, fiber cement, stucco, concrete, and tile. Cavity, barrier, and mass wall systems are also described.

    Systems for
    Enclosing
    Buildings
    • Buildings are given an enclosure around their
    exterior so that the desired internal environment can
    be maintained while outside weather is excluded.

    • The exterior enclosure consists of vertical


    walls and a roof, either of which may be
    punctured by such building components.

    Windows Ventilation
    Ventilators For access
    Other alternatives, though, are
    possible and have been used, such as
    a barrel arch or a dome, integrating
    walls and roof. Thus, a roof system
    and a wall system may be separate
    systems, physically independent of
    each other, or indistinguishable parts
    of a single enclosure system
    ROOFS
    • A roof is the uppermost portion of a building constructed for the purposes of separating the
    building interior from the outdoors and excluding exterior environmental conditions from the
    interior.
    • While walls are vertical or nearly so, roofs may be horizontal or inclined at an angle considerably
    less than 90° with the horizontal.
    MAJOR CONCERN IN DESIGN OF ROOFS

    Provision of a capability for supporting snow loads. This type of loading rarely is of concern in
    wall design, because in this case, too, verticality aids shedding of snow. For both roofs and
    walls,
    wind loads are an important design concern, but roofs usually also have to be designed to
    support some live loads, because people may have to walk on them.

    Wall Systems: Exterior Wall Types
    • also known as a screen or drained wall system. This wall type is the
    Cavity Wall most common in most climatic and rainfall zones, for two main reasons:
    the pressure equalization that can be obtained, and the ability to endure
    bulk rainwater penetration.

    • A barrier wall is any exterior wall system that depends on a


    weathertight outermost surface and construction joints to resist bulk
    Barrier Wall rainwater penetration and moisture ingress. This type of wall is
    usually associated with precast concrete panels, composite and solid
    metal plate exterior cladding, and exterior insulation finishing
    systems (EIFS).
    • Mass walls can be considered the opposite of cavity
    Mass Wall walls: they rely on a combination of wall thickness,
    storage capacity, and bonding between masonry units
     to resist bulk rainwater.
