Abstract

Malaysia is a developing third-world country experiencing rapid economic expansion. In fact, Malaysia's construction industry is one of its most active, contributing significantly to the country's economic growth. The construction industry has undergone various transformations, beginning with ancient ways and progressing to conventional methods and now to technology. The Industrial Building System (IBS) is gaining popularity in the construction industry due to its multiple advantages. The roof is the most important component of the structure since it protects the occupants from a number of risks. Roofing requirements have grown across the board, resulting in a healthy market for roofing materials in terms of performance and physical attributes. However, there are a number of issues that influence the performance of roof materials. Various issues have been identified as affecting the effectiveness of roofing materials in previous study. The identified issues and problems are durability, ability to reduce heat gain and also relative weight of the roof structure. It offers an opportunity to propose new innovative items to address major concerns by recognising problems. As a result, new innovative concepts are proposed to address the issues while also promoting the use of eco-friendly materials.
