Abstract	This research investigated the behavior of mechanically-attached, single-ply roofs subjected to wind uplift, and resulted in a standard for assessing the air intrusion characteristics of roofing assemblies. The paper describes the test apparatus and procedures, and the method used to validate the new standard.
