Abstract: Systems and methods detailed herein include roof simulation and design, and roof construction based on such simulations and designs. To minimize material and part waste, as well as enable improved construction efficiency by augmenting computer-aided design tools with functionality to arrange roofing accessories for an optimal layout and to arrange staging of the roofing accessories in advance of or during construction for efficient construction, embodiments detailed herein improve computer-aided design tools for roof design, e.g., via a plug-in, extension, add-on or other modification, to enable the computer-aided design tools to create, from a computer-aided design drawing or other image of a roof, a roof layout, a staging layout and/or a bill-of-materials.

Abstract: This invention, in embodiments, relates to a roofing system that includes a roof deck, a plurality of tapered insulation panels applied onto the roof deck, at least one non-tapered insulation panel applied onto the plurality of tapered insulation panels, and a membrane layer applied onto the at least one non-tapered insulation panel. This invention, in embodiments, further relates to a roof assembly kit that includes a plurality of tapered insulation panels and instructions for installation, as well as a method of installing such a roofing system.

Abstract: A portable wind barrier for a field stove comprised of a plurality of interconnected panels. The interconnected panels are typically rectangular and planar. The interconnected panels are interconnected, with hinges on the long edge of the panel. The portable wind barrier for a field stove can be configured into a closed surface, surrounding and encircling the fire. The present invention is fabricated from environmentally durable, heat resistant material.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Thuja plant named ‘Walter Brown’, characterized by its broadly pyramidal plant form; yellow-colored leaves when grown under full sun conditions and green-colored leaves when grown in shady conditions; foliage resistant to sun and winter burning; and winter hardy.
