Concrete Tile Roofing: The World's Most Sustainable and Energy Efficient Roof System - Update

Concrete Tile Roofing: The World's Most Sustainable and Energy Efficient Roof System...

Sponsored By Eagle Roofing
Presented By David Vallas
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

In this one hour course, we will take an in-depth look at the sustainability and energy efficient attributes of concrete tile roofing, including the near zero-waste manufacturing process, life-cycle cost and performance versus temporary asphalt shingle roofing as well as the installation process which enhances the inherent thermal mass

Learning Objectives:
  1. Discuss how the versatility of concrete tile roofing combined with its durability makes it one of the most sustainable roofing products available
  2. Consider the value of products composed of a small number of raw materials that are sustainable, including some recycled materials
  3. Review the near zero waste manufacturing process of concrete roof tiles from the introduction of raw materials to the finished product
  4. Compare and contrast an installation method that exploits the air permeable characteristics of concrete tile roofs versus temporary roofing materials
  5. Identify key performance characteristics of concrete tile roofing including wind and hail resistance
  6. Analyze the longevity, durability, and overall life cycle cost analysis of concrete roof tile compared to asphalt shingles, wood shakes, slate, and metal
  7. Confidently specify concrete tile roofing as an alternative to slate, metal, wood shakes, and temporary asphalt shingles

Terrazzo in Healthcare

Terrazzo in Healthcare

Sponsored By The National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association, Inc.
Presented By Gary French
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

The purpose of this presentation is to provide information that will be helpful in specifying terrazzo in a healthcare setting. Participants will gain an understanding of terrazzo systems and the variety of design applications available in terrazzo

Learning Objectives:
  1. Attendees will learn what terrazzo is, its rich history, and why it should be specified in healthcare settings. They will be given the definition and list of components that make up terrazzo. They will hear of the endless color options and various aggregates available.
  2. Attendees will explore the green elements and sustainability of terrazzo. As the original recycled flooring, terrazzo has proven to last over 100 years in buildings and survive hurricanes and floods.
  3. Attendees will learn about the types of systems available in terrazzo, the differences between cement and epoxy systems, the installation of each system, surface preparation, moisture testing, grouting, and grinding.
  4. Attendees will learn about precast vs poured-in-place stairs and curbs, non-slip strips, crack repair, flexural test, crack membrane, and divider strips.
  5. Attendees will see a series of designs and case studies of terrazzo in healthcare applications.

Sponsored By CEMCO
Presented By Don Pilz
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

In this one-hour course, design professionals will gain knowledge of head-of-wall, bottom-of-wall and wall-to-wall assemblies, as well as the respective UL standards for approval, It will discuss different joint treatment types and the components involved with each application.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Identify a variety of wall-to-wall, bottom-of-wall, and head-of-wall joints, including their UL assemblies and ratings
  2. Evaluate different joint treatment types for their advantages and disadvantages, particularly in regard to their durability, cost, and safety
  3. Discuss International Building Code that relates to fire resistant joint systems and firestopping that protects occupants in the event of a fire
  4. Apply knowledge of IBC standards to specify, install, and operate fire resistance joints to ensure occupant safety
