Tapered Insulation Systems add positive drainage to manage water flow, prevent water infiltration, as well as insulate buildings at the roof level. How does the design intent, mapped by design professionals not specialized in roofing, translate to tapered installations on low-slope roofs? This webinar will cover just that. You will also learn about what key details need to be included for a high-performing, well-draining roof assembly and how the updated IECC will affect tapered insulation design.

This seminar addresses the history and available technology of blindside waterproofing to prevent moisture transmission in new commercial construction. Attendees will be able to determine what type of blindside waterproofing system to use on various projects, gain tips for writing effective waterproofing and related specifications, and understand the relationship between design, material selection, and installation to avoid pitfalls and using the wrong material. Attendees will learn best practices for creating an effective blindside waterproofing installation to avoid building leaks that can lead to indoor air quality contamination, mold, and early building decay or even structural failure.

Designers, owners, and occupants all value the appeal of natural brick and wood for exterior cladding and interior surfaces. But these natural materials come with drawbacks. Wood can split, warp, cup, mold, and attract insects. Brick is heavy and susceptible to efflorescence. Quality control is not assured. The fresh alternative is resin cast shapes that mimic wood and brick, delivering the benefits of biophilia and a sense of connection with the natural world, but without the problems. This course examines the wood and brick aesthetic of resin cast shapes and demonstrates their sustainability and performance qualities. They are durable, lightweight, easy to install, and contribute to a continuous building envelope. Case studies of noteworthy projects illustrate the superior form and function of this next-level cladding alternative.

For many architects and engineers, finding the right clients and winning the project is often a lot like dating. A successful acquisition process involves strong marketing and lead generation strategies, followed by crafting compelling proposals, negotiations, and project execution—much like building a new love connection.
AE firms often face challenges in strategically aligning project acquisition with their core objectives and culture. Founder of The Well-Designed Firm, Steve Burns, FAIA, will reveal how to use emerging technologies and business management tools, including AI platforms like Chat GPT, Bard, and Midjourney, to manage your firm effectively and tailor your sales and marketing endeavors. Think of it as "swiping right" on the projects that are the perfect fit for your firm!
This session will also focus on identifying the right clients, winning them over, and positioning your firm uniquely in the market. Prepare to be inspired by one of the most accomplished and forward-thinking experts in the AE industry!

A review of the general requirements of the IBC for roofing (Chapter 15) and how SPRI resources can assist with a path to compliance. This review would include a discussion on SPRI’s sponsored Directory of Roof Assemblies (DORA), the library of ANSI standards, starting with the ones referenced in the IBC, and how the others can be useful tools toward roof design. Other resources that supplement or clarify common roof concerns related to single-ply roofing systems will also be addressed.
