Roofing contractors are often sued for work even after the client has signed off on the project. Depending on the circumstances, the Slavin doctrine provides a precedent that may shield contractors from such suits.

PRESIDENT’S COLUMN George Ebersold

Stepping into 2017 As we welcome in 2017, I wish you all the best in the New Year and trust that your holidays were enjoyable. Hopefully, you were able to spend time with family and friends and are recharged for what looks to be a very busy and prosperous year.

Facing us in 2017 are some challenges with the Florida Building Code (FBC) and the new International Building Codes (IBC) – both front and center for FRSA and the Codes Committee. We expect the code change process to be brought before the Florida Legislature to make changes that will allow the Florida Building Code to retain its integrity while streamlining implementation processes. Currently, the Florida Building Commission is required to update the FBC every three years to reflect the most current version of various international codes. We are expecting to see legislation to use Florida’s current (2017) Building Code as the foundation code, by giving the Commission authority to decide which provisions of the international codes are appropriate and necessary for Florida. We expect that the legislation will continue to allow the adoption of annual technical amendments to the Code that relate directly to public health, safety and welfare.

This will certainly be an interesting piece of legislation that FRSA Legislative Counsel Cam Fentriss will be monitoring closely for FRSA and we will almost certainly have opportunities to be directly involved with it.

The new FBC Sixth Edition is slated to go into effect on December 31, 2017 barring any unforeseen issues that may crop up this year. FRSA is creating seminars based on the changes in the new code and we anticipate having them available at the Convention.

In February, FRSA’s Affiliate Council will meet at the offices in Winter Park for a roundtable meeting designed to help each affiliate prepare for meetings, provide guidance on financial and tax information, review meeting procedures, discuss successful marketing campaigns and brainstorm ideas for local meetings and events. FRSA will pay for a hotel room for one person from each affiliate to attend and we encourage you to send someone to represent your affiliate.

Now’s the time to prepare your projects to submit for the S.T.A.R. – the Spotlight Trophy for the Advancement of Roofing – Awards. Hopefully, you’ve been documenting them with multiple high-resolution pictures that we can use on the covers of Florida Roofing Magazine and on our website. Each year, incredible jobs are profiled, but sometimes don’t have the visual documentation

that help the judges decide on winning projects. The submission portal is open on FRSA’s website, www.floridaroof.com/convention/ and you can begin uploading your projects now – don’t forget the pictures!

As a member of the Executive Committee, I have first-hand knowledge of the inner workings of staff and committees, and a front seat on many of the projects developed during my five-year term. One of the most successful, both financially and FRSA President George Ebersold, visually, are the changes made to Tom Tanenbaum Roofing Inc, Orlando FRSA’s magazine, Florida Roofing.

It’s been a year since we launched the reformatted publication and what a resounding change it has been. Advertising revenue has doubled and the magazine is now self-sustaining.

I want to thank all of our advertisers who supported us over the years and enabled us to become a first-rate publication.

January is the Buyers Guide issue and includes listings of all FRSA Associate members, along with the products and services they provide. We hope that you will keep this issue handy and refer to it throughout the year as your need for additional products arises. We ask that you support those companies that support FRSA and the industry.

Best Regards,

George Ebersold – FRSA President george.ebersold@tanenbaumroofing.com

FRSA LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL Cam Fentriss

The Workers’ Comp Circus is Back If you don’t want people to notice what you are doing, create a distraction. That is exactly what the workers’ comp claimant lawyers are doing right now. Let’s break this down.

In 2003, the Florida Legislature put limits on what lawyers for injured workers can collect in attorney fees because a) the system is supposed to be “self-executing” which calls for very few lawsuits, and b) injured worker lawyers were making so much money, often more than the injured workers were getting in benefits. It was a substantial cost driver that was responsible for a large portion of the high workers’ comp rates.

In May of last year, the Florida Supreme Court threw out those limits and we are back to an attorney fee freefor-all. Right away, a number of cases came in for a landing and claimant lawyers were awarded large fees – some very large. Put another way, it took no time at all to get back to the level of abuse that caused the need for the 2003 changes.

With a stack of cases lined up for the big fee hand-outs, it stands to reason that workers’ comp rates must go up – they have to because the increased attorney fees are a BIG increase in cost to the system.

Claimant lawyers know that their grab for fees is solid evidence for an increase in rates, but they don’t want legislators, employers, or employees to focus on that. They will try to distract us, hoping we don’t notice that they are responsible for the increase. Their manufactured distraction needs to be something like making some statement that gets everyone’s attention because it sounds good and it seems like it could be true, but it is not, and NCCI and insurers will be motivated to spend a lot of time and money trying to explain the whole complicated process and drag out the useless discussion past the end of the legislative session in May – if possible. That is very convoluted.

The claimant lawyers have thrown their smoke bomb into the crowd, asserting that NCCI is shady and that they manipulate rate calculations with an evil adding machine in a dark corner of some basement. Claimant lawyers are trying to convince us that NCCI is calculating proposed rates in secret without showing anyone how they arrive at their figures, and, making things worse, the Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR) is just letting them get away with it. Wrong. That is just not true – not even close.

In our 20 plus years of experience dealing with NCCI, we know they provide an absolute ton of material to explain their proposed rates. In fact, FRSA and FRSA Self Insurers Fund frequently use their material, ask questions, make comments, and propose changes. The proposed rate filing NCCI submits to the OIR is reviewed in excruciating detail by the staff at OIR and they almost always counter - they rarely just rubber stamp what is submitted. Anyone who suggests the process is not open and above board and 6

FLORIDA ROOFING | JANUARY 2017

that proposed rates are not thoroughly vetted is ignorant or just not paying attention.

Part two of the claimant lawyers’ distraction is to advocate for “open rating,” rather than the uniform rates proposed by NCCI, a rating organization that exists for the purpose of collecting data and forecasting rates. If we had open rating, then each insurance company would apply to OIR for approval of the rates it wants to charge. On the surface, it sounds great because a company that wants your business could get approved to charge lower rates. But think it through: the advantage would go to the largest insurers because these are the companies that can afford to charge less to gain market share. What happens once they gain enough market share?

If the large national insurance companies can undercut rates long enough to drive out the competition (small Florida workers’ comp carriers), then, once that is complete, they can and will call for much higher rates because they will control the market. Even before they drive smaller Florida companies out of business, they will create very real tension and chaos for employers looking to find coverage because they will also be controlling what they demand from employers before they are willing to write a policy.

You may ask why claimant lawyers want to promote something that could reduce the number of insurers available to provide coverage because, after all, insurers are the ones who write those big juicy checks these lawyers want so badly. Chances are they are either not thinking it through, do not understand the concept of profit and loss, or they just figure, since employers are required to provide the coverage, the government would step in and bring back the “good old days” of the Florida Workers’ Compensation Joint Underwriting Association (FWCJUA) for coverage.

The moral of this story is that claimant lawyers who stand to get filthy rich from worker’s comp litigation are not the experts or go-to authority on how best to calculate workers’ comp rates or make coverage available because, on that subject, they have a GIANT conflict of interest.

If they try to convince you to support open rating or doing away with NCCI, please ignore it. We need to concentrate on making sure the workers’ compensation system is affordable for employers and helps injured employees by using funds for benefits, rather than attorney fees.

Goodbye to Saturday and Other Changes to the FRSA Expo Cheryl Sulock, CMP, CSEP, FRSA Director of Convention & Expo

The Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo transitioned from a three day show to a two-day show a few years ago, with the Expo open to attendees on Friday and Saturday.

While everyone seemed happy to eliminate the extra day, the grumblings were loud and frequent about the show still being open on Saturday. Many efforts were made to make the Saturday show floor just as busy as Friday. The FRSA Convention Committee tried coordinating affiliate buses, hosting special seminars for foremen and superintendents, and offering Saturday-only exhibitor specials, cash prizes and free beer.

At the close of the 2016 Expo, exhibitors once again voiced their opinion through online surveys, emails and phone calls to the FRSA Executive Committee and staff.

WE HEARD YOU! After a careful review of the available options and existing venue contracts, the FRSA Executive Committee decided to make a shift to the event days beginning in 2018 when the event moves to the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center. From 2018 through 2020, Wednesday will mark the kick-off with FRSA sports tournaments, seminars, and the popular Welcome Reception.

The Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo will be open on Thursday and Friday.

for the event, taking place June 22-24 at the Orange County Convention Center and Hyatt Regency Orlando in Orlando. The Convention Committee has decided to make sure Saturday goes out with a bang! Attendees will gather during Saturday show hours in the Lounge for complimentary Mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, and light breakfast snacks.

What goes great with a Saturday morning Mimosa?

How about cash prizes? New for 2017, attendees will have the chance to participate in the FRSA Square Challenge by stopping by the booths of participating exhibitors and collecting stamps on a pre-printed card. Completed cards will be turned in on the Expo floor for a chance to win cash prizes. Stamps can be collected on Friday or Saturday; winners (18 years or older) will be selected on Saturday and must be present to win.

Combine these exciting new events with numerous educational seminars and several networking opportunities, such as the fishing, clay shooting and golf tournaments and the popular Thursday Night Welcome Reception, and 2017 promises to be a great year. Adding to the excitement, the Friday Night S.T.A.R. Awards presentation has been further condensed, allowing everyone to get right to the lively, late-night After-Party.

What About 2017?

What About 2021?

2017 will mark the last time the Expo is open on Friday Time will tell! A truly great event must be constantly and Saturday, as no major schedule changes are planned evolving to meet the needs of an ever-changing industry.

Rest assured, the FRSA Executive Committee, Convention Committee and staff are always willing to listen, be flexible, and make bold changes to keep up with these needs.

What About Right Now?

Registration for the 2017 event will once again be online and will open in the spring. In the meantime, stay up-to-date on the latest Convention & Expo news by visiting www.floridaroof.com, liking us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/flroof, or following us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/FRSAExpo.

There has been so much discussion about the importance of video content in today’s marketing mix. This content can teach us how to fix a flat tire, carve a turkey or find a local business that can solve a problem we might have. I know many of you can think about times when you looked at a YouTube video and that video helped you to make a buying decision, based on that video content.

There are millions of videos uploaded every day to YouTube or across social media. This content spans from entertainment to video testimonials. There are many music artists that got their start by sharing their videos on YouTube. We ask ourselves, why is video content so compelling? One answer: 65 percent of us are visual learners according to the Social Science Research Network. Humans are visual creatures and we process information on what we see through our eyes. In today’s society, we are bombarded with stimuli; everything from music, commercials, newspaper ads, etcetera.

There are over 1.5 billion individual units of content generated every day, according to HubSpot. YouTube estimates over 100 hours of video is uploaded to the site every minute. On Twitter, over 140 million tweets are posted every day. Videos are even more effective. Cisco predicts that by 2019, 80 percent of all online traffic will be videos. Direct Marketing reports that nine out of ten consumers watch at least one video per week. Instead of reading a how-to article or press release, more consumers would rather watch a video. Including a video in blogs, emails, and other written content increases the chances that individuals will open and view content in its entirety. With all that said, it’s not easy to put together these videos. It often takes time, money and creativity. Many local businesses struggle to put together videos that will indeed help promote their product and services. YouTube, identified this concern and the frustration that the local businesses were feeling. They recently launched the YouTube Directors App. This app allows small businesses the ability, through easy to navigate templates, to produce high level video content. This video content can be used in a variety of ways.

I would like to challenge you to take a look at the YouTube Directors App.

Top Five Attic Ventilation FAQs Paul Scelsi, Air Vent, Inc., on behalf of the Roof Assembly Ventilation Coalition

On the surface, attic ventilation may not appear to be a “top of mind” concern for contractors working on the roof and inside the attic. After all, there’s insulation, underlayment, shingles and flashing to tackle, too. However, based on the volume of questions the member companies of the Roof Assembly Ventilation Coalition (RAVC) receive about attic ventilation, it is clear contractors are thinking about it. Here are the five most commonly asked and answered questions the RAVC receives.

Why is it Important to Ventilate the Attic – What is its Purpose?

Attic ventilation provides year-round benefits to help fight heat buildup in the summer, moisture buildup in the winter, and ice dams in climates with snow and ice. This helps to prolong the life of the building materials – including the shingles, helps to improve the comfort level inside the home, and helps to lower the utility bills by reducing the load on the air conditioner and other appliances such as fans and refrigerators. RAVC member companies have case studies documenting these benefits.

The summertime benefits of attic ventilation are often more obvious to the contractor than the wintertime benefits. That’s understandable. It’s not too difficult to realize the attic can get very hot in the summer, and if that hot air is not properly removed through ventilation it can become problematic. However, the wintertime benefits are less obvious, but, quite possibly, more important. That’s because the average family of four generates an estimated 2 to 4 gallons of water vapor each day through activities such as cleaning, showering, breathing, etc. Some of this water vapor rises into the attic. In the summertime, the outdoor air temperature, as well as the air inside the attic, is warmer than it is in the winter, and warmer air can hold more moisture than cold air can. But in the winter, the amount of water vapor that the air can hold is substantially lower.

As a result, it can condense as frost or water droplets, drip onto the insulation, and, in time, contribute to mold, mildew, wood rot and poor indoor air quality.

How Much Ventilation Does an Attic Need?

The starting point for any attic ventilation project is always, “What is the size of the attic space to be vented?”

The International Residential Building Code (IRC) defines attic size in terms of its square footage – length x width, floor of the attic. Once a contractor knows the attic square footage, the amount of necessary attic ventilation can be calculated.

The code minimum for attic ventilation in the 2012 IRC, Section R806 – Roof Ventilation[1] is as follows: 1 sq. ft. of Net Free Area for every 150 sq. ft. of attic

floor space. This means, for every 150 square feet of attic floor space there should be 1 square foot of Net Free Area. (NOTE: While the IRC does not address the need for more attic ventilation as the volume in the attic rises with roof pitch increase, member companies of the RAVC do in their various resources).

What’s the Ideal Way to Ventilate an Attic?

It is the recommendation of the RAVC that the attic ventilation system always be balanced. This means an equal amount of intake net free area through vents positioned in the soffit/overhang or near the roof’s lowest edge and exhaust net free area through vents installed at or near the peak of the roof. This allows cool, dry air to enter the attic at the lowest point helping to remove any warm, moist air from inside the attic through the exhaust vents – along the entire underside of the roof deck.

If the attic ventilation system cannot be balanced 50% intake/50% exhaust, it’s better to have more intake than exhaust because it’s been our experience most houses lack proper intake. Additionally, any excess intake will become exhaust on the leeward side of the house because the intake vents on the windward side of the house will have “pressurized” the attic. As a result, the intake vents on the leeward side of the house will work “with” the exhaust vents to release air.

However, if the attic has more exhaust than intake it is potentially problematic because the exhaust vents could become intake to compensate for the lack of balanced intake. For example, a ridge vent could pull air from its back side if it can’t obtain air from intake vents. Or, a wind turbine could pull air from a nearby wind turbine on the same roof because there is not enough intake low on the roof to pull from. In either scenario, the exhaust vent is potentially ingesting air and weather which it’s not designed to do.

The More Exhaust Vents on the Roof the Better it is for the Attic, Right?

Well, it depends. If it’s more of the same type of exhaust vent, it is OK (as long as it does not exceed the amount of intake as explained earlier). But if it’s a combination of types of exhaust vents, it’s potentially problematic.

In general, there are five types or categories of exhaust vents: ridge vents, power fans (traditional electric and solar powered), wind turbines, gable louvers, and roof louvers. The RAVC recommends never mixing two types of exhaust vents on the same roof above a common attic because it could short-circuit the attic ventilation system. Here’s how it can happen. Air follows the path of least resistance. That path is supposed to be from low in the attic (intake vents) to the highest possible exit point in the attic (exhaust vents). If two different types of exhaust vents are combined (for example, a ridge vent and a gable louver) the primary path of air becomes the distance between the two types of exhaust vents. That short-circuits the proper flow of air and could cause one of the exhaust vents to ingest weather because it is suddenly functioning as an intake vent.

When it comes to intake vents, by the way, it’s OK to mix multiple types on the same roof (for example, rectangular under-eaves and roof-top installed edge of roof vents) because they will be in the same wind pressure zone working together. That is not the case with multiple types of exhaust vents.

height, only ventilate the higher one or separate the attics.

As wind passes over an externally baffled ridge vent, it creates low pressure zone, drawing air from the attic. The faster the wind moves over the baffle, the greater the pressure it creates. Typically, wind moves faster at higher elevations, therefore, the higher ridge will be exposed to high wind speeds. If the wind speed difference is adequate, the pressure at the higher ridge may be enough to pull air into the lower ridge vent. Thus, it’s best to separate the attics with plywood or poly sheeting to create two distinct attics. Once the attics are separated, ventilating all of the ridges is acceptable.

By Paul Scelsi, Air Vent, Inc. Scelsi is Chairman of the Roof Assembly Ventilation Coalition, whose mission is to be the leading authority and technical resource on ventilated roof assembly design and performance.

[1] In part, the IRC states: Enclosed attics and enclosed rafter spaces formed where ceilings are applied to the underside of the roof rafters shall have cross ventilation for each separate space. …The minimum net free ventilation area shall be 1/150 of the area of the vented space. …Exception: The minimum net free area shall be 1/300 of the vented space provided one or more of the following conditions are met: 1) In Climate Zones 6,7 and 8, a Class I or Class II vapor retarder is installed on the warmin winter side of the ceiling. 2) At least 40% and not more than 50% of the required ventilating area is provided by ventilators located in the upper portion of the attic rafter space…with the How are Multiple Ridge Heights Handled?

The rule of thumb for ridge heights states that all ridges balance of the required ventilation provided by eave or cornice can be vented whether they run parallel or at angles to each vents. Check local codes for any differences between the IRC and other. If, however, the ridges are more than 3 feet apart in local municipalities.

FRSA LEGAL COUNSEL Trent Cotney, PA

The Slavin Doctrine It is not unusual for a roofer to be sued when someone is injured on a project, even if the injury occurs after the project has been accepted. Often, the injured person sues the roofer alleging that his/her injuries were caused by the roofer’s defective construction. Notwithstanding an injury, even if the construction was defective because it did not comply with the owner’s design, the roofer still may avoid liability. One method to avoid liability is application of the Slavin doctrine.

The Slavin doctrine holds that a contractor is not liable for personal injuries to third parties if the injuries were caused by patent defects and the owner has accepted the work. In other words, if the defective condition was obvious at the time the owner accepted the contractor’s work, the contractor will not be liable for damages resulting from the defective condition which occurred after the date of acceptance.

The Slavin doctrine emerged from the Florida Supreme Court case Slavin v. Kay, 108 So. 2d 462 (Fla. 1958). In Slavin, the plaintiff was injured in a motel as a result of a sink detaching from the bathroom wall and falling on the plaintiff. The plaintiff sued the motel owner and the contractor that installed the sink seeking compensation for the injuries the plaintiff suffered. Although the court recognized that a contractor may be relieved of liability for injuries to third parties occurring after the owner has accepted a project, the court also stated that the contractor would only be relieved of liability if the owner could have discovered and remedied the dangerous condition. In other words, the condition must be discoverable rather than latent for the contractor to avoid liability. The Slavin court found that the sink’s defective condition was hidden from ordinary observation and was therefore a latent defect, and held that the contractor could be held liable for the plaintiff’s damages.

Several cases have expanded upon the original ruling in Slavin. In El Shorafa v. Ruprecht, 345 So. 2d 763 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977), the court upheld the Slavin doctrine and recognized that under Slavin the contractor would not be liable if it was the property owner’s negligence in failing to correct the defect that actually caused the injury. The court held that if the owner could have corrected a defective condition that was known or reasonably would have been known after the owner accepted the project from the contractor, then the owner was the true cause of a third party’s injuries, and the contractor would not be liable.

In 1986, the Florida Supreme Court applied the Slavin doctrine in a case involving a paving contractor. Edward M. Chadbourne, Inc. v. Vaughn, 491 So. 2d 551 (Fla. 1986).

In Chadbourne, the plaintiff was a passenger that was injured in an automobile accident. The plaintiff argued that 40

FLORIDA ROOFING | JANUARY 2017

his damages were the result of a two inch drop in the center of the pavement which caused the car accident. The plaintiff sued the paving contractor seeking compensation for his personal injuries and the wrongful death of his wife. The court found that the Department of Transportation had accepted the work performed by the paving contractor and had examined and tested the contractor’s work extensively prior to the acceptance. The plaintiff attempted to equate the paving contractor to a manufacturer of a product, which would make the paving contractor strictly liable for all damages arising out of its work. The court declined to follow the plaintiff’s reasoning because the contractor had installed as well as manufactured the pavement, and upheld Slavin. The court ruled that because the Department of Transportation had accepted the work performed by the paving contractor and the Department of Transportation should have known about the alleged defect, the paving contractor could not be held liable for the damages sought by the plaintiff under any theory of liability.

Over the last 55 years, the Slavin doctrine has continued to protect roofers from liability for injuries caused to third parties as a result of an owner’s negligent maintenance of a project. Hopefully, none of our members will ever need the Slavin doctrine, but if your company is sued for personal injuries, the Slavin doctrine might save the day.

S.T.A.R. Award Sustainable Roofing Project Winner Florida Roofing is continuing coverage of the winning projects from the 2016 S.T.A.R. Awards – the Spotlight Trophy for the Advancement of Roofing – which highlights industry projects throughout Florida.

FRSA members submitted their roofing projects completed during the previous year, along with an application detailing the project, and in-progress and completion photos for placement in one of six categories.

Project submission required a description including tear-off (if applicable), preparation, design work, installation, problem solving and any other information that might be unique to the job, such as safety requirements or field fabrication.

Categories for submission included: Sustainable, Community Service, Steep Slope, Low Slope, Specialty Metal, and Unique.

A panel of three industry professionals was established to review the submitted projects. Judging criteria included, but was not limited to: aesthetics, size, completion time, special circumstances, unique project design, complexity of project, workmanship, teamwork, testimonials, and creative problem solving.

The judges selected three projects in each of the six categories to receive either first, second or third place S.T.A.R. Awards.

Advanced Roofing Inc won first place in the Sustainable category for their Lockheed Martin Solar Carport project. Its team consisted of: Contractor: Robert Kornahrens Project Manager: Paul Burns Superintendent and Foreman: Josh Gordon Manufacturer/Consultant: Advanced Green Technologies Manufacturer: Hanwha Solar Panels Manufacturer: Sungrow Inverters Project MVP: Paul Burns Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Lockheed Martin is a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 112,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services. They are the largest industrial employer in Florida with approximately 12,000 employees in the state. The company’s Mission Systems and Training

facility in Oldsmar, Florida employs about 500 employees and 100 contractors providing engineering, software development and other services for the companies programs.

Project Background

In 2014, Lockheed Martin contracted Advanced Roofing and sister company Advanced Green Technologies to design and build a massive 2.25-megawatt solar carport at their Mission Systems and Training facility in Oldsmar, Fla. The project encompasses 7,260 solar modules mounted on a 151,400 square foot area that is 24 feet in height, which provides clean energy to the facility and protected parking for 534 vehicles.

Advanced Roofing was awarded the solar carport construction and solar installation project over seven other national contractors after a rigorous bidding process managed by Lockheed Martin. What Advanced Roofing brought to the table was not only experience in large-scale solar power installations in Florida, but also the ability to both design and build the project.

The Process

Advanced Roofing was the turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor on the Lockheed Martin project. The project scope included the entire parking lot asphalt replacement,

installation of a custom designed steel carport structure with concrete foundations equipped with a solar power racking system, and an under-canopy LED lighting system. Overall, between Advanced Roofing and Advanced Green Technologies, the team was able to self-perform most of the overall project installation because of its in-house resources in roofing, sheet metal, cranes, and renewable energy.

Overcoming Challenges

Being located in Florida, the carport solar array provided some design challenges due to the hurricane force winds that can reach 150 miles per hour or more. Taking these wind loads into careful consideration, the team was able to make the adjustments and include them in the structural design. And because Factory Mutual insures Lockheed Martin, the project had to meet strict guidelines for the high-speed wind zone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time that Factory Mutual becomes involved, projects become heavily scrutinized,â&#x20AC;? mentioned Clint Sockman,

Also, because of limited parking spaces during the construction process, the project had to be carefully phased so that employees had somewhere to park safely and the facility could continue to operate without disruptions.

Hanwha SolarOne Company provided the high-efficiency, S-series solar modules for the project, with inverters provided by SunGrow, and Advanced Green Technologies providing the steel carport structure.

Components supplied for the project were rated for the Florida environment, such as wind resistance and corrosion resistance from saltwater spray. Environmental issues were also taken into account with the steel structure and coatings on the steel structure, since it is a 25-year energy production asset.

Interconnection was a fairly easy process based on Advanced Roofingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience and understanding of Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regulations governing the tie-in of renewable power installations into the existing grid.

Furthermore, bringing an added â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenâ&#x20AC;? dimension to the environmentally friendly construction project, the team was able to recycle the inch-deep soil that was removed from the entire parking lot to donate to the City of Oldsmarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new BMX Supercross facility that is nearby.

Conclusion

The solar carport project was completed on time, and on budget without safety issues or disrupting Lockheed Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily operations.

Furthermore, upon completion of the solar project in September 2015 it held the title as the largest private, non-utility owned solar array in Florida at 2.25 Megawatts. The solar carport system can deliver significant savings to the Lockheed Martin overhead, cutting its utility costs up to 65 percent for annual savings of about $300,000. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a savings of $6.5 million over 25 years, and a greenhouse gas emissions savings of 35 percent from deflecting energy consumption from conventional fossil fuel sources. In addition to the energy saving and reduced environmental footprint, the carport is also providing some much-appreciated shade for employees.
