    Whole building airtightness testing has been a code compliance option in the International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1 for some time.

    That compliance option is rarely used and only becomes mandatory as part of a building owners’ requirements, or a specific state or jurisdictional requirement.

    As we move towards net-zero, building codes will “tighten” up and is expected to become a test that is mandatory on a more country-wide basis.

    It is important to understand the latest in test methods, current and projected code requirements, training and certification requirements and resources to allow you to specify this requirement.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Identify current building code requirements on both a national and jurisdictional level, and requirements of various green building programs.
    2. Articulate what the test provides and how the results can be used to improve the building enclosure.
    3. Define the differences between all the test methods available as code or specification options.
    4. Determine the industry resources that exist in developing contract documents for whole building airtightness testing.

    This course will examine the different slopes used in metal roofing, and compare and contrast various forms of wall panels. Additionally, this course will cover various natural materials involved in metal roof and wall panel construction.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Identify the basic differences between the metal roof and wall systems used in commercial buildings.
    • Recognize the design opportunities offered by these systems.
    • Discuss the environmental aspects of metal roofs and walls.
    • Discover the economic aspects of metal roofs and walls.

    Earn: 1 AIA LU/HSW, 1 IIBEC CEH, and 0.1 IACET CEU

    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.

    This presentation will review how changes in energy codes and local ordinances have shifted the paradigms in what is considered best practice when it comes to specifying energy-efficient and durable single-ply roof assemblies. We will discuss the different types of roof membranes, coverboards, attachment, insulation, and vapor barriers used in single-ply roof systems. To provide context, we’ll review several project examples to demonstrate the best practices and tools available to designers who may be new to single-ply roof assemblies or cool roof requirements.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Evaluate the effectiveness of single-ply roof systems to meet the requirements for cool roof building codes and achieve improved energy efficiency.
    2. Recognize when to specify the different types of roof membranes, coverboards, attachment/adhesive, insulation, and vapor barriers used in single-ply roof systems.
    3. Identify how the performance of single-ply roof systems can be enhanced when considering sustainability, energy efficiency, wind uplift, puncture resistance, and ease of repairs.
    4. Apply examples of best practices and tools to assist in designing durable and cost-effective roofing assemblies.
