On-Demand This one-hour course will cover the lessons learned from over 20 case studies regarding Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction, forensic testing in existing buildings with active leaks, and continuous moisture monitoring for conventional roofing. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify common causes for moisture intrusion.
On-Demand This session provides an overview of the LEED v5 BD+C: New Construction rating system, including its structure, goals, and credits. An emphasis will be placed on critical changes in the rating system since LEED v4/v4.1.
On-Demand This presentation will explore how to identify projects that may be good candidates for on-structure or rooftop stormwater management, tools that can help meet water management challenges and how they can be incorporated into the overburden assemblies we already specify.
On-Demand The session will also examine various roof and wall assemblies, supported by lab tests and real-world data. Finally, we'll cover essential quality assurance protocols, including building enclosure commissioning and whole building airtightness testing, to ensure your designs perform as intended.
On-Demand This course discusses the history and characteristics of high-density cement fiber cladding. It then illustrates how a fully engineered, multi-layered system integrates an air and water-resistive barrier, a robust sub-construction made from aluminum or steel brackets and profiles, mineral wool thermal insulation board, and durable high-density fiber cement. Images illustrate how the fiber cement panels can be custom-fabricated into various shapes, offering design versatility.
On-Demand Join Douglas for this illuminating session that will empower you to unlock profitable projects and gain mastery in fee estimation. By the end of this session, you'll possess the knowledge and tools to make informed financial decisions, ensuring the prosperity of your AE firm.
On-Demand This webinar will educate attendees about building longevity and sustainability, and how these concepts improve energy efficiency. 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.
On-Demand The presentation will provide designers with specific items to include on their project for a more resilient roof design to resist wind, water and keep a building operable after a storm.
On-Demand As weather gets more extreme, roofs are being asked to withstand even more: manage more water, defend against larger hail and stay on during high winds. During this webinar, you will learn about the new wind requirements in ASCE 2022, best practices for designing for very severe hail, and ways to manage water from large rain events.
On-Demand This presentation will discuss the development of air leakage requirements in the model energy codes for commercial buildings. It will then describe the status of adoption of model codes by the states. Finally, the implications for enforcement through whole building airtightness testing of the adopted code will be discussed.
