The Six Inches That Could Cost Your Building Thousands

Replacing a roof sounds straightforward — until it isn't. For co-op and condo boards, a routine repair can spiral into a cascade of unexpected consequences, all triggered by something as small as a change in thickness. In this episode, Craig Tooman, principal at CTA Architects, talks about how today's energy code is quietly rewriting the rules of roof replacement in ways most boards never see coming. There's a high-tech solution that sounds almost too good to be true, but Tooman explains why it might not be the right call for every building.
