The challenge for plumbing design professionals is finding the right balance between performance and efficiency in water heating systems. A review of plumbing code requirements and insights into specification considerations will be shared. This course will identify types of water heating technologies with a focus on Electric Tankless Water Heater (ETWH) function and design.

This course will better inform the architect and designer about decorative hardwood plywood in terms of its manufacture, uses, types, and sustainable attributes. The architect and the designer will gain an understanding of the different adhesives and core material options available, which options are more sustainable, and which options are most commonly used. Participants will also know...

There are varied material options available for restrooms, locker rooms, and other applications. Learn about HDPE, its physical attributes, composition, design options and sustainable contributions to the design and construction of any project. We'll take a look at why product transparency and responsible manufacturing are important considerations when specifying a sustainable product.

Discuss ANSI Z358.1 compliance as it refers to tepid water and share insights into safety system design and specifications. Consider the right balance between performance and efficiency in tepid water systems. Review current water heating technologies with a focus on tank less electric water heating features and benefits.

Canopy systems are sometimes one of those building elements that gets taken for granted or overlooked, despite the important role they play in providing coverage, shading and reduced heat gain to a building. The integration of these systems with other exterior building systems also often ends up becoming an afterthought, leaving room for potential errors and less-than-ideal scenarios. In this...

To educate about ‘Building Longevity and Sustainability’ and how these concepts impact making buildings more energy efficient. The course examines how foil-faced polyiso continuous insulation can function as multiple control layers, providing Air and Water Resistive Barriers, in addition to providing a thermal control layer, and meeting NFPA 285 fire code standards. Additionally, the course...

In this one hour course, we will evaluate hydrophobic coating as a solution for many common problems encountered during the life-cycle of a building. Some of the easily recognized benefits of a protective coating including a decrease in environmental damage to exterior glazing, significant reduction in building maintenance, improving photovoltaic performance, and enhancement of the forward-...

This course discusses the benefits of a thoughtfully- designed light control system and how to make it work for your project's natural-lighting and shading needs. The discussion emphases implementing design methods including specification of technologies such as sun shade and canopy systems that creates useful and aesthetically-pleasing daylight systems. Designing to not only minimize solar...
