On-Demand These factors include the different types of metal roof and wall systems, materials used in manufacturing, fastener types as well as environmental issues such as saltwater and wind speed. Structural issues including building framing, roof slope, curving, perforation and more are addressed. Finally, a review of cost assessment and how it’s affected by sustainability needs, installation concerns and jobsite best practices rounds out this course.
On-Demand Through this course, learn about how specifying the roof edge is the single most cost-effective enhancement for wind uplift on a commercial roof and how you can help mitigate risk and protect lives through design.
On-Demand This presentation will help designers better understand how moisture moves through airflow by diffusion. We will discuss permeability of materials and its impact on the performance of enclosure assemblies.
Credits: 1 AIA LU/Elective; 0.1 ICC CEU; 0.1 IACET CEU On-Demand In this session, we will learn the fundamentals of all successful AE firms and provide the basis for making well-grounded business decisions. We will learn how firms can transition from being professionals providing services, to highly tuned businesses that can identify the needs of the marketplace and create services and products that are appropriately priced and yield consistent and greater profits.
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 In this webinar, participants will get a taste of what it takes to make steel today, in the cleaner, high-tech factories that are very different from the steel mills of decades ago, and will see how their specification language and design practices can help reduce the carbon footprint of buildings using steel framing.
On-DemandThis course explores the essential code mandates, types, and configurations of water-resistive barriers (WRBs) in exterior wall assemblies. Originally developed to protect moisture-sensitive components in framed wall construction, WRBs have since become a mandated safeguard, ensuring the longevity and performance of structural assemblies.
On-Demand With practical guidance on specifying, coordinating, and installing air barriers, this presentation equips professionals to design healthier, more resilient buildings with superior energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
On-Demand This course will detail the progression of early building joint firestop methods to today's best practices such as preformed firestopping and fire-rated drywall accessories. Architects, engineers and specifiers will benefit from this presentation.
On Demand In modern roofing systems, vapor retarders and air barriers do more than just minimize air leakage—they’re essential to maximizing performance and longevity. This engaging course dives into the next generation of moisture control: permeable vapor retarders and air barriers. Discover how these cutting-edge technologies are transforming low-slope roofing assemblies by improving energy efficiency, managing moisture, and boosting wind uplift resistance.
