  From exorbitant rains or snowfall to humidity and excessive salt exposure, inclement weather climates provide many opportunities for building failures. In these climates, special consideration must be paid on construction projects—from preparation through post construction maintenance. With so many opportunities for failure due to the way various construction materials react to the environment, there is no room for errors or skipping steps. This presentation covers the considerations for waterproof deck coatings in inclement weather areas, the ever evolving code related to these installations and a checklist that can prevent common oversights which can lead to catastrophic failures.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Pinpoint areas of concern related to construction methods for waterproof deck coatings in inclement weather areas.
  2. Consider Building Code intricacies of waterproof deck coatings in inclement weather areas for future projects.
  3. Identify opportunities for collaboration for project specific scopes of work and details for sequencing of events.
  4. Implement and execute a checklist that can prevent common oversights that can lead to catastrophic failures during and after the application of deck coatings.

  If you’ve been on many jobsites, chances are you may have witnessed acoustic consultants exhibiting odd behaviors such as making clicking sounds, banging on walls or ducts, wandering around aimlessly with their eyes closed (not recommended on jobsites), or even hiding in dark spaces. These behaviors may seem inexplicable and add an air of mystery to the acoustic profession. But are these behaviors simply a form of learned theatrics or do they serve a real purpose? In this webinar, we’ll examine 10 of the most bizarre behaviors exhibited by acoustic consultants and discuss what they may or may not accomplish.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Name the five basic acoustic measurements of a project.
  2. Estimate appropriate acoustic goals versus project size and use.
  3. Identify typical acoustic measurement equipment.
  4. Determine the value of 10 manual acoustic evaluation techniques.

  Roof systems are a complex part of building enclosures with many functions and components; adhesives are often used to hold the components together, while offering improved installation speed and long-term performance benefits. This webinar discusses roofing adhesives in general, as well as providing specifics based on membrane type. Examples will demonstrate how roof system design installation factors are used to meet key project goals: system design, energy-efficiency, wind resistance, resilience and schedules/budgets.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Determine what it means to adhere a roof system, including review of adhesive types.
  2. Discuss material and substrate limitations when adhering roof assembly components, including vapor barriers, insulation, coverboard and single-ply membranes.
  3. Recognize key roof system performance attributes of adhered roofs, such as the effect on wind uplift, impact resistance and air intrusion.
  4. Explore case studies of adhered and mechanically attached roof assemblies, including R-value reductions due to thermal bridging, material costs and overall energy efficiency of the different assemblies.
