Managing Roofs as Sustainable Assets

Three areas of roof sustainability

1. Sustainability of

the roof itself:

keep it on the

building and out

of the landfill

2. Roofs impact on

building energy

consumption

3. Roofs potentialfor renewable

energy platform

Keeping the roof out of the landfill1. BLUEFIN is a roof management company focused on

protecting and extending the life of your roofs

throughout the life-cycle.

2. We use a portfolio asset management approach to

achieve this goal for customers with multiple buildings.

3. The Result: Roofs leak less, cost significantly less,

and last a lot longer.

Our Strategic Portfolio ApproachPhase One: Build the Program

Baseline Roof Assessments

Preventive Maintenance and Minor Repair concurrent with assessments

Develop Roof Condition Scorecard for Each Roof Section andSummarize RCS for Portfolio

Life-Extending Asset Management plans: Roof Priorities and 10-year BudgetPlans for Repair, Maintenance, Restoration

10 Year Capital Plan for Roof Replacements

Bundled Scopes of Work

Phase Two: Implement the Program

Procurement Construction Management

Emergency Leak Response

Routine Maintenance and Periodic Inspection

Benefits of Preventive Maintenance

Reduces leaks and associated costs by 50% or more

Significantly improves roof condition

Extends service life 3-5 years

Payback in less than 6 months

We bundle PM with our assessments to deliver

an immediate improvement in roof performance

Results

We have tested, refined and validated this approach over the past

8 years on over 200 million square feet of roofs throughout the U.S.

When fully implemented, this methodology delivers the following

results: Up to 75% fewer leaks, extended roof life, and a 25% annual

reduction in capital investments in roofing.

30-50% reduction in roof repairs annually by prioritizing and

bundling work performed.

Reduction in capital expenditures through the selective use of long-

term warranted restoration strategies that are 75% less expensive

than re-roofing.

program to reduce annual

D.C. Public SchoolsThis K-12 school district includes 152 buildings

and 6.7 million square feet of roofs

The buildings are old and had chronic leak issues.

The district needed to know what they had as far as

roof inventory and condition, and an organized way tomanage this expensive building asset.

BLUEFIN assessed the roofs, developed plans and budgets,

dealt with immediate leak issues, procured repair of

deferred maintenance items and rolled out a program to

identify and preserve good candidates for roof restoration.

Results:Leaks dropped by 75%, capital requirements have

been reduced by 25% and safety issues have been resolved.

More budget dollars are going towards classroom

enhancements.

Benefits of Roof Restoration

DC Schools Case Study:

Roof restoration can provide up to 15 years of warranted, high performance life extension

to your roofs for as little as 25% - 30% of the roof replacement cost.

40% of their low slope roofs may be candidates for roof restoration in lieu of replacement

Reduced capital requirements for roofing by as much $35M - $40M through 2025,

representing a 30% reduction in roof replacement costs over that period.

Roofs impact on building energy

consumption and renewable energyThe Washington DC Department of General Services450 schools, office buildings, police stations, fire stations, parks/rec centers and officebuildings that make up 11 million SF of roof area.

Program to improve energy performance through 6 methods:

1. Improved building energy performance and selective use of day-lighting

2. Integration of storm water management with vegetative roofs

3. Reducing urban heat island effects through improved reflectivity or vegetative roof

4. Reduce the significant carbon footprint associated with re-roofing through roof

asset management practices that keep existing roofs out of landfills5. A platform for improved energy performance through the use of roof-mounted

photovoltaic (PV) power generation and solar thermal hot water generation

6. This project can serve as a leadership benchmark for other regional governmentsand the DC metro community.

renewable energyPartnering with RGS Solar, BLUEFINassessed 17 educational facility buildings inMaryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Its cool, its green, it might evenbe financially viable. But

Its still a roof underneath What about the warranty? How long will the roof last? What if it leaks? Or fails?
