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

The Devil is in the Details - A Thorough Examination of the Need for Clarification in Specifications

The Devil is in the Details - A Thorough Examination of the Need for Clarification in Spec...

Sponsored By Noble Company
Presented By Dean Moilanen
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

The quest for transparency of specifications and execution in the field is a never-ending journey. The means and methods of construction are ever-evolving. The ways in which we access information has changed radically over the years. The demands of owners to bring projects to fruition with ever more demanding timelines is no secret.

Learning Objectives:
  1. We will use relevant examples from Division 9 “real life” disconnects between a manufacturer’s requirements, a specification writer’s language, and the ultimate end result in the field.
  2. We will examine current ANSI & ASTM language, various examples of manufacturer specification language, and some reoccurring specification mis-fires which occur in spite of everyone’s best intentions.
  3. We will review actual case study examples to illustrate possible resolution paths.
  4. At the conclusion of the presentation, the examples provided will offer timely solutions of specific on-going “fixes”, and hopefully be a jumping off point for closer communication between all stakeholders to minimize future “punch list” issues.

Sponsored By TRA Snow & Sun
Presented By Mindy Dahlquist
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

This course provides a review of the problems, safety issues, and solutions associated with snow and ice moving on roofs, particularly in heavy snow accumulation areas. It also provides in-depth training on the proper engineering and installation of snow retention systems.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Realize that codes and standards relating to snow retention systems are nonexistent.
  2. Recognize common hazards and damages caused when heavy snow moves on a roof.
  3. Compare and contrast everyday snow retention solutions and design practices.
  4. Identify and understand modern snow retention systems that can effectively and safely retain snow.
  5. List factors that need to be considered while engineering snow retention devices and layouts.
  6. Explain practices that can be used to eliminate ice dams.

Moisture Management & Eco Rainscreen Wall Systems

Moisture Management & Eco Rainscreen Wall Systems

Sponsored By Fiberon
Presented By Brandon Greer
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

Rain is one of the most important things to control in wall construction for both a building’s structural integrity and the occupants’ health. Join us in this one-hour course as we discuss the basic building science of moisture management and sustainable rainscreen systems.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Identify potential moisture management issues that can cause harm to both a building’s aesthetic and structural integrity as well as occupants’ health and safety.
  2. List four basic components of rainscreen wall systems that help minimize rainwater passage into the wall and effectively dissipates any water remaining back to the exterior.
  3. Compare and contrast the suitability of various cladding materials to serve in rainscreen systems, particularly their durability, sustainability, and safety.
  4. Evaluate proper exterior wall design as a rain screen system for effective moisture management.

High-Performance Coatings and Exterior Restorations

High-Performance Coatings and Exterior Restorations

Sponsored By APV Engineered Coatings
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

High-performance coatings are a necessity when it comes to protecting building exteriors and restoring them after harsh weathering and UV degradation; the right coatings prolong a building exterior’s life span and divert materials from landfills.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Discuss the different categories of high-performance coatings and their role in protecting a building’s exterior and improving its appearance
  2. Compare various types of high-performance coatings, focusing on PVDF resins and the attributes and sustainability benefits associated with water-based formulations
  3. Examine the various uses of PVDF-based coating systems and their contributions to sustainability while achieving aesthetic objectives, and
  4. Summarize the application parameters that ensure the optimal performance of a coating system as well as applicator and user safety and well-being.
