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 coatings 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 include a decrease in environmental damage to exterior glazing, significant reduction in building maintenance, improved photovoltaic performance, and enhancement of the forward-...

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...

This one hour course will describe the evolution of light wood frame construction and why it is an effective method to solving the affordable housing crisis. Our team will discuss how fire poses significant threats to mid-rise light wood-frame buildings-under-construction. We will also explore fire protection strategies and how to design safer and more sustainable buildings for occupants and...

Get a comprehensive overview of LEED v4 BD+C New Construction credits – and how paints and coatings can contribute directly and indirectly to LEED credits. We’ll review credit intents, explain credit requirements, and explore where to find materials to meet the needs of the credits.

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 what...
