On Demand A roof is more than the surface that keeps water out of buildings; it’s the first line of defense from the elements, whether it’s rain, snow, wind, hail, heat, or sun. Roof systems are a complex part of the building enclosure with many components that serve as a means to control water, air, vapor, and heat transfer.
On Demand This course will build upon basic cover board education and teach you how to identify and articulate the most common risk factors (adverse conditions) for commercial roof damage.
On Demand Topics covered will include reflective roofing and rooftop overburden, such as solar and amenity spaces, that can provide additional energy generation, learning spaces for students, and how to design and build resilient and durable roofing solutions.
On Demand An introduction to the various codes, standards and other resources available to architects and engineers for the specifying, design and detailing of cold-formed steel framing projects.
