Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Register Roof Consulting – Exam Study Group

This Group would be for those who have good knowledge of the roofing industry and are on their way to submit for the RRC exam. The plan is to have higher-level knowledge for competency in the Design and General Knowledge that it takes to be a successful consultant.

The plan of the study group is to break it up into three different categories:

Design - elevate practical experience into design-level competency
General Consultant Knowledge - elevate practical knowledge to perform consulting services
Technical Roofing System – Dive into some of the technical knowledge of each type of roofing systems

All of these categories are structured around the kind of analytical, code-referenced thinking required for the RRC exam.

Lunch and Learn - October 2026 (Monday, October 26, 2026)

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 17:30:00 GMT

See What Others Miss: Aerial Intelligence and Multi-Sensor Inspection for the Building Envelope

SPEAKER: Koby and Elizabeth Brown

Building enclosure professionals are increasingly called upon to assess facades, roofs, and building systems that are difficult, dangerous, or time-consuming to inspect through conventional means. Little Bird AI deploys FAA-certified drone platforms and multi-sensor payloads, including high-resolution visible-light cameras, radiometric thermal infrared sensors, and LiDAR, to deliver actionable intelligence that traditional inspection methods simply cannot match.

This session introduces roofing and building envelope consultants to the capabilities of high-tech aerial inspection technology: what it can detect, how the data is processed and delivered, and how it integrates into existing assessment and reporting workflows. Real-world case studies from Texas projects, including a large university student housing complex and a university center roof assessment, will demonstrate practical applications in facade condition assessment, moisture intrusion detection, storm damage documentation, and construction progress monitoring. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of when and how to deploy aerial intelligence on their own projects.

Objective 1: Identify Core Inspection Services

Participants will be able to distinguish between facade inspections, thermal infrared surveys, construction monitoring, and industrial/high-risk inspections, and match each service type to appropriate project scenarios such as pre-purchase assessments, post-storm damage documentation, or moisture intrusion investigation.

Objective 2: Describe Sensor Technology & Deliverables

Participants will understand the role of radiometric thermal cameras, high-resolution RGB sensors, photogrammetry, and 3D modeling in generating orthomosaic imagery, annotated deficiency reports, interactive models, and other client-ready outputs, and how these deliverables support professional decision-making.

Objective 3: Evaluate Regulatory & Credentialing Standards

Participants will be able to identify key professional standards relevant to sUAS operations, including FAA Part 107 certification, certified sUAS thermographer credentials, and insurance requirements — and apply this knowledge when vetting aerial inspection providers or incorporating drone data into their own scopes of work.

Objective 4: Apply Lessons from Real-World Case Studies

Drawing on documented projects including a Texas A&M University student housing complex facade and thermal roof assessment and a university center rooftop IR survey, participants will identify project conditions, constraints (such as restricted airspace), and deliverable types that make aerial inspection an appropriate tool in the building consultant's toolkit.
