A building roof consists of an assembly of adjacent roofing units, each comprising a pyramid-shaped main section of which the lower edges lead into, and are secured to, a rectangular peripheral assembly of channel ducts, the adjacent ducts of succeeding units being connected and sealed. Fascia units are secured to and extend outwardly from the outer flanges of the channel ducts about the periphery of the roof, each fascia unit having a sloping top substantially co-planar with the pyramid surface secured to the inner flange of the duct, a substantially vertical outer face, and a substantially horizontal bottom leading back to and seated on an exterior wall of the building supporting the roof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Broadly, the invention resides in a roof for a building including a plurality of adjacent roofing units each comprising a pyramid-shaped main section, its lower edges secured to and leading down into a rectangular peripheral assembly of channel ducts; means supporting the corner portions of the rectangular assembly of channel ducts; and means connecting in sealed manner the adjacent channel ducts of successive roofing units.
Preferably fascia units extend outwardly from the periphery of the roof, each being secured to the outer flange of a channel duct and having a sloping top which is substantially co-planar with the pyramid surface secured to the inner flange of the duct, the fascia unit also having an upright outer face and a substantially horizontal bottom leading back to and seated on the exterior wall of the building, to constitute a soffit.
Other features of the invention will become apparent from the following description.
