Building panels, assemblies of building panels, and associated methods are provided. A building panel includes a structural core, such as a set gypsum core, at least one filamentous scrim associated with the core, and a nonwoven mat facer.

A system including modular units of packaged phase change material; means to secure the modular units of packaged phase change material to a roof of a structure; and wherein the phase change material being packaged in an infrared reflective and ultraviolet stable material. A housing may also be used to retain the modular units of packaged phase change material. The phase change material serves to reduce the energy load of the structure.

A method for producing an asphaltic sheet, the method comprising of providing an asphaltic sheet; and applying expandable graphite particles to the asphaltic sheet.

A functional roof construction arrangement for a roof frame of a building, includes a plurality of functional roof modules being assembled together. Each of the functional roof modules includes a module housing and a roof functional unit which includes three different roof functional panel units selectively supported by the module housing at different levels thereof to provide different functions for the building. The roof functional panel units are selectively configured for selectively providing multiple functions of solar energy collection, thermal insulation, sound insulation, wireless network system, and the like.

A high elongation ridge ventilation sheet for a sloping roof, having a coated composite aluminum membrane with multiple circular holes, each side of the coated composite aluminum membrane being bonded respectively with a folded composite aluminum membrane via a butyl adhesive tape for central linking, on a side of each folded composite aluminum membrane adjacent the coated composite aluminum membrane is arranged with a hot melt adhesive for connecting a polyester nonwoven fabric with each folded composite aluminum membrane, with the polyester nonwoven fabric covering the whole coated composite aluminum membrane. Further, a fabricating method therefor that realizes wholly dry construction; ridge ventilation sheets adopted on ridge locations not only make the whole roof prettier, but more importantly, enable air convection under the roof in a true sense, taking out extra dampness and heat, resulting in better energy saving effects, and extending life span for the roof.
