Rooftop decks create valuable living and recreational space for building owners, residents, and clients. Accommodating restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, and everything from residential to government buildings, rooftop deck systems offer the design flexibility to create versatile, unique outdoor spaces over any structural surface. This course explores the features, surface materials, and design options for rooftop deck systems and provides an overview of recommended planning and installation guidelines.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the key features of deck supports, including their weight bearing capacities, durability, and height and slope adjustability, that enable precise deck leveling and a safe, structurally sound rooftop deck.
- Recall appropriate installation conditions for rooftop decking systems, and provide installation guidelines to facilitate a durable and level deck installation that meets structural, loading, and building code requirements.
- Discuss the benefits of rooftop deck systems and their site furnishings, including the health benefits to building occupants and the environmental attributes of the materials used.
- Describe customization options for rooftop decking systems, and reference case studies to illustrate how a unique, usable outdoor space can be installed over any structural surface.

Though 3D-modeled landscapes are becoming more common in design workflows, many hesitate to involve these techniques.
A key benefit to incorporating 3D and BIM in your landscape design is analysis. In this session, you’ll learn how to leverage the power of solar, terrain, building, and landscape feature modeling to better analyze site conditions, advise clients, and validate design choices.
By integrating 3D with 2D design workflows, there’s less disruption in getting to a better-performing solution.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize how modeled terrains can visualize grade changes and analyze for cut/fill, slope, and surface drainage flow.
- Understand how sun and shade studies can analyze existing conditions and propose landscape solutions to your clients.
- Realize where integrating 3D workflows can be less disruptive to design development and build efficiencies for each subsequent project.
- Learn how 3D objects can provide crucial estimating data for costing and material reports.
