Calculating a Roof Pitch Architecture I What is the Roof Pitch The roofs Pitch is what is called slope in geometry Pitch RiseRun Run ½ Span Roof Pitch to Degree Equivalents This drawing demonstrates how many degrees rise for each pitch of a typical roof Look at the column labeled pitch then look under degrees to get the corresponding amount of degrees .  . José . B. . Dávila. Christian Brothers University.  . Abstract.  . This research consisted of analysis of a large volume of temperature and heat flux data pertaining to the thermal performance of an improved attic design. The objective was to reduce the heating and cooling load of a conditioned zone located underneath the attic. Data obtained for the improved attic design were compared with those obtained for a standard-construction roof. The results show a significant reduction of both cooling and heating load. Chapter 7. University of Engineering & Technology, Taxila. 1. Properties of Trusses. . Truss is a frame structure in which all the members have axial forces due to the following facts:. Members are arranged in triangles for stability.. Trussed Rafters. Trussed Rafters are now used for the overwhelming majority of domestic roofs constructed in the UK,. 1 - Made from timber – the only truly renewable building resource.. 2 - Can use up to 40% less timber than a traditionally formed roof..  .
