On-Demand In this webinar, Mark S. Graham, NRCA's vice president, technical services, will review cost effective measures than can enhance and optimize roof system performance. Topics to be addressed include roof decks, air- and vapor retarders, insulation, roof coverings and roof maintenance.
On-Demand This presentation delivers a comprehensive look at the performance advantages of continuous insulation, with a special focus on polyisocyanurate (polyiso CI) solutions.
On-Demand This course provides visual examples of actual field conditions. Some good, some not so good; along with design suggestions that can cut installation costs and reduce construction change orders. Upon completion of this course, you will have a better understanding of the requirements the roofing contractor must meet to provide the specified roofing system warranty, and long-term value to the owner.
On-Demand Designing a high-performance building enclosure requires more than just surface-level protection; it demands a rigorous, performance-based mastery of below-grade water and gas mitigation. This discussion will provide an expert-level analysis of below-grade waterproofing within the comprehensive framework of the high-performance building enclosure.
On-Demand This presentation is designed to cut through the confusion. It will provide clear definitions and performance insights for PVC, PVC KEE, and KEE membranes. Attendees will leave with precise, actionable specification language to ensure the roofing membrane installed on their project delivers the intended, long-term performance.
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.
