Whether to control daylight, protect occupants, or provide eye-catching design, architectural surfacing materials are a great addition to any project. Join us in this one-hour course as we discuss a wide variety of architectural surfacing materials. Participants will discover the many benefits of solar control window films, safety and security window films, and other architectural surfacing materials that can be used in any application to increase sustainability, safety, and design, as well as comply with LEED v4.1 requirements.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Identify the sustainable benefits of solar control window films, such as increased energy savings that can help projects apply for LEED v4.1 category credits
