Hygrosensitive membrane THERMO-HYGROMETRIC BEHAVIOR OF THE ENVELOPE Thedifferent climatic conditions in summer andwinter greatly affect the thermo-hygrometric behaviors of the insulation packages and the structures of buildings. In winter, when the indoor temperatures (between 20° and 25°) are usually higher than the outdoor ones, the pressure difference pushes the humidity of the internal environment outside through the roof package. On the contrary, in summer, humidity tends to enter the building. The hygrometric behavior of the envelope is therefore affected by the building’s geographic position, the external and internal environmental conditions, the difference in temperature between day and night and the degree of production of humidity in the indoor environments. The water vapor is discharged thanks to the ventilated cavity. At the points where the insulation is not optimal, any excess water vapor can move towards the ventilated cavity. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 EXCERPT

Controlled diffusion roof 85 VAPOR BRAKING MEMBRANE BELOW THE INSULATION A breathable membrane positioned above a breathable insulating membrane (for example in natural or mineral fibers) and a vapor braking membrane (Sd 2 meters DVA 15 g/m²/24h) positioned underneath guarantee correct passage of vapor in winter, without saturating the insulation with humidity that could condensate in low temperatures. In summer, humidity arriving from outdoors passes through the insulating membrane, drying. WITHOUT VAPOR BRAKING MEMBRANE BELOW THE INSULATING MEMBRANE Not using a vapor braking membrane or replacing it with a breathable membrane would result in better performance in summer, with greater internal “back-drying” of the humidity, but would expose the package to the serious risk of the formation of condensation in winter in the upper part (colder) of the insulation, caused by the humidity arriving from indoors.

Fully sealed impermeable attic membrane Hot welding of the breathable waterproofing membrane guarantees perfect waterproofing, airtightness and windproofing because it seals the overlaps and gaps. The membrane is coated on both sides with a hot-weldable synthetic film. The longitudinal edges of the coil are sealed to prevent water rising upwards through capillarity through the central polyester mat. It is important to install only products whose technical datasheet indicates their use for a specific roof slope. A continuous tape seal must be used to guarantee sealing at the fixing points of the battens.

1.1 – zintek® – 7. Corrosion resistance 40 Compatibility between metals When two metals come into contact, one metal and its compound or one base metal and some metal impurities with different electrochemical potential, a potential difference is generated; that is, a short-circuited battery in which the metals act as electrodes, and the one with least potential acts as an anode and corrodes. When choosing construction materials, it is therefore indispensable to pay utmost attention to any possible chemical contamination by the substrate or adjacent materials. This applies above all for the application of sheets on humid or fresh concrete, for exposed bituminous waterproofing, for green roofs and for wooden roof and façade claddings. The environment mainly causes chemical or galvanic type corrosion due to the pH and humidity respectively. In environments with high resistivity, corrosion is limited to the anodic zone close to the connection with the cathodic area. For this reason, this type of corrosion is extremely serious in the presence of sea water but not fresh water, that has a conductivity of at least 2 orders of magnitude less. Galvanic corrosion, linked to the relative nobility of two metals, will be greater the further the elements are from each other in the standard reduction potentials scale or galvanic scale. Instead, two materials can be called “galvanically compatible” if they are close to each other in the galvanic series. Electrochemical corrosion occurs when two metals with different voltage potential come into contact and the rainwater acts as an electrolyte. The entity of the corrosion depends on the voltage potential difference between adjacent metals and their surface exposure. The flow of rainwater also affects the corrosion process even although this factor is often underestimated in practice: the electrolytes in the water create a galvanic element and the current flows from the anode to the cathode, corroding the less noble metal. 1.1. 7.

The main components are chromium, nickel, molybdenum and titanium. The resistance of stainless steels to corrosion depends on the presence on the surface of a layer of oxides, called passive layer. Nickel-chromium steel is the most suitable for accessories and anchoring systems. For flue pipes and sheets in close proximity, however, greater resistance to corrosionmust be guaranteed to deal with the sulfur load, choosing an alloy with addedmolybdenum. Stainless steel fixings must be at least A4 quality (withminimummolybdenum content of 2%). Ferritic stainless steels are magnetic and have limited use in roofs, sheet steel works and façades. b) Contact between these metals is possible only in dry areas without the stagnation of humidity and/ or condensation water.

TRANSVERSAL JOINTS IN THE STANDING SEAM CLADDING In a standing seam cladding system, the sheets are anchored with fixed and sliding clips. Using high-sliding clips pitches can be clad with a single sheet up to a length of 17 m. If the pitch length is greater than 17 m, it is necessary to use aligned transversal joints that allow the sheets to expand and slide. The transversal joints must be aligned with each other because, through friction, the double standing seam longitudinal joint does not permit differential thermal expansion between the sheets. The clips must never be positioned at the transversal joints and at the overlap between the two sheets. Example of laying with double standing seam longitudinal joint STAGGERED JOINTS 300 mm Pitch length ≤ 17 m for double standing seam longitudinal joints that do not allow movement of the transversal joint. Pitch length > 17 m for angular standing seam longitudinal joints. To avoid the formation of thickenings of the material, we recommend staggering the transversal joints by at least 300 mm.

JOINTS FOR COMPENSATION OF THERMAL EXPANSION IN GUTTERS The metals used for the rainwater collection and disposal system are subject to thermal expansion and contraction. In the design and construction of the gutters it is therefore necessary to allow the thermal expansion of the materials and their structure according to the variations in temperature. According to standard UNI 10724, a temperature difference of 80 K approximately from -20 ° to +60 ° C must be considered. However, these temperatures vary depending on the installation site, altitude, orientation and exposure to sunlight. For the values of the linear thermal expansion coefficients, please refer to chapter 2.4. 1. Thermal actions for zintek® roof claddings – General information. All joints and fixings must be made in such a way as to allow the components of the gutter system to expand and contract as the temperature changes. To this end, it is advisable to maintain a length of less than 10 m for the sections of exposed gutter. For longer lengths it is necessary to use expansion joints. The following table shows themaximum indicative values of the distance between expansion joints in external and internal gutters. For the expansion joint, a possibility of movement ≥ 20 mm is considered.

4.2 – Gables and copings – 1. General information 288 4.2. 1. General information The gables are the side closures of the roof, while the copings protect the head of the walls and the façade cladding from water. The edge areas are in fact particularly exposed to wind and rain: under the pressure of the wind, the water tends to rise along the façade; the roof and the overlap between the gable and the façade protect the connection area. The shape and type of closure of the edges determine the resistance to the action of the wind: the greater the height of the gable edge with respect to the ground level, the lower the extraction forces exerted on the roof cladding in the edge area. In the edge areas it is important to pay attention to the number and type of fixing clips. Swirling wind at the edge of the roof.

4.2 – Gables and copings – 2. Types of construction of the drip tray 289 4.2. 2. TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE DRIP TRAY When designing the geometry of the drip tray it is important to take into account the surface adhesion forces that hinder the detachment of water from the metal surface. Water flowing along a vertical surface will tend to stick to the surface even when it changes direction; the detachment of water molecules from the curved surface occurs when it reaches the point where the weight of the water (mass * gravity) is greater than the surface adhesion force. The surface adhesion force varies from metal to metal, and with it therefore, with the same geometry, the point of detachment also varies. From the moment of detachment, due to its speed of flow, the water film continues along a tangential direction and according to a parabolic path that tends to bring it towards the wall.

5.3 – Solar panel support systems – 3. Coupling systems on standing seam roof cladding 332 5.3. 3. COUPLING SYSTEMS ON STANDING SEAM ROOF CLADDING The coupling of the solar panels to the standing seam zintek® roof cladding takes place by means of clips that allow not to use through fasteners, to guarantee functionality and continuity of the cladding and allow its thermal expansion. Any metal frame supporting the panels is also anchored to the clips by means of a sliding coupling system that allows the profile the necessary movement. The values allowed by the standing seam cladding coupling systemmust be higher than the loads transmitted by the solar panels and its support structure. Technical characteristics of the coupling clamp: • the clamp pressure is exerted only on the sides of the standing seam edge; • presence of a retaining hook below the standing seam edge, against extraction even in the case of slight loosening of the nut over time and vibrations due to inclement weather; • open angle for the transversal expansion of the cladding (11° + 15°, as indicated in the example drawing); • can be used both in the area with fixed clips and in the area with sliding clips; • is installed with the counter hooks positioned on the side of the standing seam welt; • the nuts are tightened with a torque wrench, according to the values shown on the product data sheet. 11° 15° Example of a clamping system for fixing photovoltaic panels on seaming, which allows thermal expansion transversally and longitudinally to the roof cladding.

The structural verification can be carried out by means of complete laboratory certificates or by means of calculation reports based on the strengths of the individual components (solar panels, clamps, type and cladding material, clips and related fixings, type of continuous support and related fixings to the support structure). In the absence of a correct sizing of the cladding panel system, excessive loads on the single clamp can cause the standing seam edge to break and, in some cases, even the detachment of the cladding, together with the coupling clips. The longitudinal joint of the double standing seam cladding can be subjected, at any point, to a maximum stress that is transmitted to the underlying structure. To size and verify the number of clamps required, the minimum pull-out strength value of the clip and the clamp coupling on the standing seam edge is considered. On the basis of laboratory tests, the manufacturer of clamps and fixing clips provides information on the permanent loads (weight of the panels and substructure) and incidental loads (snow loads, wind and maintenance load) that the system can absorb in terms of pull-out, compressive strength and resistance to sliding in the direction of the pitch. It is advisable to consider the values of the strength tests relating to the most unfavorable load combination, making sure that the deformations due to the loads remain in the elastic field of the materials without permanent deformations. In the case of installed solar modules that are not coplanar with the roof pitch, the pull-out strength due to wind actions will be higher than for adjacent systems.

6.1 – Ventilated façade stratigraphy – 5. Protection against the spread of fire on ventilated façades 354 6.1. 5. PROTECTION AGAINST THE SPREAD OF FIRE ON VENTILATED FAÇADES To limit the spread of fire along the façades of buildings, specific regulations, technical guides and regulations have been developed to which reference should be made. The fire-fighting designer defines the technical requirements of the façade according to the type of building, the intended use, the expected fire loads and the distribution of the compartments. In general, it is preferable to use non-combustible materials on the façade; if there are combustible materials, it is possible to limit the spread of fire on the façade by inserting strips of non-combustible material, in compliance with current regulations. In the event of a fire, temperatures of 900 °C can be reached at the windows and, without sufficient protection, the flames could penetrate the ventilated cavity. The use of fire barriers protects against this risk. 1. 2. 3. In general, three typical fire propagation scenarios can be described on the building façade system: 1. propagation of the fire from the outside due to radiation with flying embers from adjacent buildings; 2. propagation of the fire from the outside due to nearby sources of fire, through radiation or direct exposure to flames (waste on balconies, parked cars, etc.); 3. propagation of the fire inside the building through the openings in the façade (windows, doors, etc.).

Window soffit without fire barrier and with ventilation from below: the flames propagate inside the ventilated cavity. Galvanized steel or stainless steel fire barrier, min. thickness 1.0 mm. D1 Horizontal and/or vertical fire barriers in the ventilated cavity can also be installed on each floor or on each second floor, based on the fire risk assessment. According to the FVHF regulation and the DIN 18515-1 standard, the total size of the openings in the fire barriers must be limited to 100 cm²/m of wall. Fire barriers guarantee the interruption of the propagation of the fire for 30 or 60 minutes, depending on the type of application and the characteristics of the system used. The open width of the ventilated cavity must not exceed 50 mm for façades with a wooden substructure and 150 mm for façades with a metal substructure. EXCERPT

6.1 – Ventilated façade stratigraphy – 5. Protection against the spread of fire on ventilated façades 358 Metal fire barrier According to the FVHF Germany regulation and DIN 18515-1, the fire barrier must be made of galvanized steel or stainless steel with a thickness ≥ 1.0 mm and positioned in the ventilation cavity. The fire barrier, inside the cavity, is positioned at a distance of ≤ 10 mm from the inner edge of the cladding and, in any case, ensuring the correct air flow of the ventilated façade.

6.1 – Ventilated façade stratigraphy – 5. Protection against the spread of fire on ventilated façades 359 Projecting metal fire barrier A projecting fire barrier prevents the propagation of fire within the cavity and, thanks to the projection fromthe cladding, it limits the propagation of flames to the upper floors. According to the OEFHF AUSTRIA regulation and based on studies carried out, detailed analyses have been developed to achieve the protection objectives. Example of the construction of a fire barrier with a cladding of noncombustible material (titanium-zinc zintek®) at the internal corner of the façade Projecting fire barrier made of galvanized steel sheet or stainless-steel sheet thickness ≥ 1.0 mm cladded with zintek® a ≥ 100 ≥ 100 ≥ 200 ≥ 200 > 1,000 < 1,000 ≥ 500 A – projection of the metal fire barrier from the façade cladding with the function of protecting against the spread of flames, to be defined in the fire protection project EXCERPT

6.3 – Ventilated façade cladding systems – 2. Standing seam cladding 370 6.3. 2. STANDING SEAM CLADDING In standing seam cladding, the choice of the orientation of the longitudinal joints (vertical, horizontal, oblique) depends on the aesthetic result to be obtained. In fact, standing seam cladding allows the cladding of complex surfaces and guarantees wide design flexibility thanks to the combination of variable elements such as the length and width of the sheets, and, therefore, the center distance between the longitudinal joints and the transversal joints (aligned or staggered). Generally, in façade cladding, an angular standing seam joint is used; the angular standing seam is a variant of double standing seams in which the last closure of the joint is avoided. The angular standing seamhas a greater aesthetic impact than double seaming and ensures optimal compensation for thermal expansion.
