The recent innovations in the roofing sector have made a paradigm shift in the technology applied. For example, energy and storm damage are leading the charge when it comes to advancements in commercial roof types. There is an ever-rising focus on incorporating sustainable energy into a building, and the renovation of roofs--common now is to have solar or PV panels installed at the time of new roof installations. Resilience is driving the increased use of the roof as an alternate energy platform. Rooftop PV systems and daylighting are increasingly be viewed as necessary requirements for any resilient building. Alongside, `Cool roofs'--roofs made with materials that can absorb and reflect infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths from the sun and `green roofs' are slowly gaining more traction.In the realm of commercial buildings, smart technologies like IoT are making it easier and much less expensive to integrate rooftop energy into the overall building power system. IoT is all set to drive a significant increase in roof leak detection systems; ubiquitous wireless technology will make real-time monitoring simple and cost-effective. As modern styles become more popular, local roofing contractors are opting for flat roofs. These are generally less expensive compared to other roof types and offer more design choices. By adding solar panels, flat roofs can also be turned it into a green roof without too many additional expenses.
