About The Stanley Center
For decades, the former Musser public library building at 304 Iowa Avenue served residents as a hub of learning. The Stanley Center has invested more than $10 million in the community by acquiring, renovating, and transforming the space into one of the most environmentally-friendly and ecologically-sustainable buildings in the world to serve as their new home.
What is the Living Building Challenge?
The LBC consists of 7 performance categories, or “petals”: Place, Water, Energy, Health + Happiness, Materials, Equity and Beauty. Contributing to this performance, the roof insulation and membrane system supports a net positive energy use and provides a durable substrate for the building’s solar arrays, a net positive water use through a rainwater catchment system incorporated into the roof deck, and materials that are safe for all species through time with membrane, insulation and accessories that are Red List approved.
The roof assembly specification for the Stanley Center included GAF EverGuard Extreme TPO® membrane and EnergyGuard NH polyiso insulation. “GAF already had a majority of their products approved for Red List Compliance, making them an ideal partner for this project”, explained Mike Kerker, Senior Estimator for Black Hawk. Working with the project team at Neumann Monson Architects, Graham Construction, and Black Hawk Roof, GAF Territory Manager TJ McKenzie helped ensure that the production of the NH polyiso would meet the timeline. “GAF is one of only a few manufacturers who produces a line of non-halogenated polyiso insulation able to meet the LBC standards”. In addition to carrying a large solar array, the roof system is required to capture the rainwater that falls on it. “This requires a very specific material and EverGuard Extreme TPO® enables alignment and makes it an easy choice”, explained Brandon Fettes, Architectural Designer for Neumann Monson.
“GAF helped us meet the rigorous standards of the Living Building Challenge, not only by providing the right materials, but manufacturing and shipping to accommodate our timeline. That has made all the difference in bringing this project together.”
