General definition of a sloping roof. Characteristics.

Sloping roofs are those whose slope is greater than 5%.

Sloping roofs are those whose water and snow tightness rely on their geometry and
the waters velocity provided by the sloping plane.

The water and snow tightness of sloping roofs rely on their covering or finishing
material, which is not always a waterproofing material by itself.

AR012

Generally, the space under roof or under cover is a usable space.

Due to the roofs geometry, sloping roofs can be a good support to place energy
collector panels as well as rainwater collectors for their further use.

Definition of a sloping roof. Slopes.

Sloping roofs are those roofs that have a slope greater than 5%.

General classification
- Sloping roofs can have a chamber or not. In the case the chamber, big or small, is ventilated, it
contributes, to a big extent, to the buildings energetic behavior.
- Sloping roofs can be cold or warm roofs, depending on whether or not they contain an air ventilated
chamber.
Cold roofs.
- The space under roof or under cover is usually a non-habitable space depending on the type of ventilation
or the dimension of the ventilated chamber in traditional roofs. In current roofs, internal ventilation can be
achieved without compromising the under roof.
- It relies on the ventilated chambers thickness in order to ensure the roofs energetic behavior. The
ventilated chambers thickness is responsible for ensuring the roofs energetic behavior.
- In this type of roof, a thermal insulation layer is necessary, with a smaller thickness than one needed in
non-ventilated roofs. A higrothermic calculation is also necessary in order to confirm whether a vapor
barrier is needed or not.
- Slopes are achieved with a specific sub-structure supported by the main structure.
Warm roofs.
- Under roof space is habitable.
- It relies on the insulation materials thickness in order to ensure the roofs energetic behavior.
- It will certainly need a vapor barrier, and in some cases, barriers against wind and dust filtrations.
- Slopes are achieved with the structural support.

Determining factors and strategies

Municipal regulatory norms:


One of the main factors when designing a building is municipal regulations and ordinances. Regarding roofs, many
municipalities have regulated and set a maximum and minimum slope for roofs, the type of finishing material, and their
use to collect solar energy and/or to place facility elements.
Climate conditions:
The buildings environmental climate conditions will help to make decisions for which type of roof to choose, taking into
consideration solar radiation, exterior temperatures, wind conditions, etc., which will help design one type of roof or
another.
Use of roof:
In the case of sloping roofs, we should consider whether the use of under cover or under roof is habitable or not, or if it
will have a specific use. Depending on this, we will project a warm or cold roof.
Roofs geometry:
The roofs geometry will be determinant when determining the roofs finishing or the type of roof in general, because
the roof needs to ensure the compliance of the stability and comfort requirements.
Water evacuation:
The roofs geometry has to ensure the evacuation of rainwater. Not only the roofs geometry but the roofs finishing will
determine this evacuation as well. In this case, the chart of slopes and materials is an indispensable tool in order to
ensure a good behavior of the roof regarding water tightness.
Stability of the finishing material:
The material used for the roofs finishing must be suitable to withstand the winds pressures and other forces such as
snow loads in order to ensure stability. In this point, the chart of slopes and materials is also a determining factor.

Roofs geometry
The slope and complexity of each of the
roofs sides will determine the geometry
of the roof.
There are basically two types of
geometries: gabled and hipped roofs
(cat. a dues aiges i a quatre agues).
From here on, there can be endless roof
combinations.
This concept has been studied in the
subject of descriptive geometry.
Image source: Catleg Terreal

Water expulsion
Water is almost always expulsed out of the building at its limits, and this is
known as evacuating water outside (cat. aiges fora)
There are three control strategies for the expulsion of water:
- Without water collection. Water falls down the exterior of the building.
- Exterior water collection. Water is gathered once beyond the roofs limit.
- Interior water collection. Water is gathered at an intermediate point of the
roof or in one of the roofs ends but hidden, and therefore, inside the
buildings perimeter.

Layers composition. Non ventilated roof

1- GENERAL ASPECTS
Non ventilated roofs are susceptible to humidity condensations and reheating.
Non ventilated roofs do not have air chambers.
This types of roof can be found in cold and warm climates, although they are generally used in cold climates with small
solar contributions.
The geometry of these roofs is a determining factor in order to ensure the roofs water tightness.

1- GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Ventilated roofs have an air chamber and it must be ventilated to a bigger or smaller extent.

Singular points. Characteristics

The singular points of sloping roofs are mainly ridges, eaves, valley rafters, chimneys, and gutters.
Singular points must be physically and mechanically solved, using the physics basic principles in
order to ensure wind and water tightness.

AR012

Construcci II

Many times singular points are reinforced with waterproofing and thermal insulating materials in
order to ensure their behavior.
It relies on the method of the roofs finishing layer overlapping elements.
Many commercial companies have elaborated special pieces for the execution of singular elements.
Every type of roof needs to create its own solution in order to overcome singular points.

The image of a sloping roof

Roofs made out of ceramic and natural stones (slate) are the most common
sloped roofs in our environment: however, taking into consideration stability and
comfort requirements mentioned previously - sloped roofs can be designed,
executed, and reinterpreted in many different types and ways.
In the next slides, we will show some projects that have chosen a very determining
architectonic language and that have resolved the roof according to the design,
the stability and the comfort requirements.
At this point, every roof image is accompanied by a constructive standard detail.
This way of showing the image with the constructive detail is to encourage you
and make it clear that every project solution is accompanied by a technical
reflection, which will be more or less accurate; and this will be said by time.

Most common types of roof uses

Sloped roofs, depending on the orientation their slopes have, are more susceptible to take advantage
of their received energy as well as their received water.
Sloped roofs, if well oriented, are an ideal platform for the placement of solar energy collectors, in
order to produce electrical energy and thermal energy to generate hot water. Collector elements can
be placed in an integrated way, as well as in an overlaid position.
Elements which have been designed to be placed in an integrated way, generates integrated energyefficient projects. On the other side, overlaid installations respond only to a specific energy demand.
As overlaid elements, they must take into consideration an anchoring system to be attached to the
roof.
At the same time, roofs regardless of their orientations, are rainwater collector elements. This water
can be conducted and stored for a later use or reuse through evacuation systems

Energy collector roof through the means of heat


Solar energy collector panels are used for generating electric energy or hot water. These panels can be installed in sloped
roofs as long as they have an orientation within the limits of taking advantage of the collectors efficiency, either in an
integral way or an overlaid way.
