LEED Rating System

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green building Rating System TM is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED provides building owners and operators with the tools they need to have an immediate and measureable impact on their buildings’ performance.

Project Certifcation

LEED certification provides independent,third-party verification that a building project is environmentally responsible, profitable and a healthy place to live and work.

Professional Accreditation

Leed Accredited Professionals are professionals who have demonstrated a thorough understanding of green building practices and principles and familiarity with LEED requirements, resources and processes.

LEED Resources

Find all the resources you need to help you achieve LEED certification, including reference guides and templates for submitting your project’s documentation.

TPO system sure-weld

JM TPO is one of the latest single ply, flat roofing materials on the market. The current membrane formulations are reinforced with a polyester fabric and manufactured using an ultraviolet-resistant thermoplastic polyolefin formulation. TPO from JM comes in two products, TPO and TPO-1, and several thicknesses. It is designed for use in mechanically fastened and adhered roofing applications in new, re-roof and re-cover roof constructions. It is fire and chemical resistant and contains UV inhibitors for added longevity.
Description
JM TPO-45 and TPO-60 are thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) membranes reinforced with a polyester fabric, and designed for
use in mechanically fastened and adhered roofing applications.

Use
JM TPO membranes can be installed in new, reroof (tear-off) and recover roof constructions. In recover construction, if the
existing roof is sound, the JM roof can eliminate the cost of disposing of the original roof.

Colors
White, Grey and Tan
Special colors are available with extended lead times.
Minimum order quantities may apply. Contact your local JM sales representative for additional information.

Approvals
JM mechanically fastened and adhered TPO Roof Systems are
classified by UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.) and FM
Global (Factory Mutual).

Energy and the Environment
Energy Star® Pass Reflectivity: 0.78
Title 24 Pass Reflectivity: 0.78 Emissivity: 0.87
LEED Reflectivity: 0.78 Emissivity: 0.90

Results shown are for initial reflectivity and emittance for white membranes;
emissivity values for Title 24 are tested per ASTM C 1371; LEED emissivity
values are tested per ASTM E 408.

Installation
Because JM TPO membranes are thermoplastic, they can be
rolled out onto the roof substrate and easily welded into one
homogeneous sheet using hot air welding procedures.
JM TPO membranes can be mechanically attached or adhered to the structural roof deck in accordance with FM Global requirements, building codes, published standard fastening patterns or adhesives recommendations.
Refer to JM TPO Roofing Systems Guide Specifications, Detail Drawings and Technical Bulletins for instructions.
