  This webinar will educate attendees about building longevity and sustainability, and how these concepts impact making buildings more energy-efficient. The course examines how foil-faced polyiso continuous insulation can function as multiple control layers, providing air and water-resistive barriers, in addition to providing a thermal control layer and meeting NFPA 285 fire code standards. Additionally, the course reviews building codes and standards regarding how to meet the continuous insulation requirements in steel stud building envelope designs, the benefits of using polyisocyanurate insulation in wall assemblies and how to specify it to meet these requirements for optimal energy performance and design efficiency.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn about building sustainability and longevity.
  2. Explain the science behind thermal, air and moisture control for steel stud construction.
  3. Interpret code requirements for building envelope design and performance.
  4. Discover how polyiso meets requirements and outperforms traditional methods for optimal control.

  LEED, National Green Building Standard, Enterprise Green Communities...with so many options how do teams decide which to use? This presentation will highlight the key differences, comparisons and benefits between the three most popular national green certifications, and applicability on various multifamily project types. Listeners will understand some of the key differences between these popular programs and gain knowledge on various types of projects that fit within each of these programs.

  Participants will gain preliminary guidance on how to determine early on in project planning, which program will be the best fit. We will outline a clear idea of multiple benefits of certifying your project under a green program. The target audience for this presentation will be builders, developers, architects, engineers, consultants, finance and housing authority members and property owners.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Determine an applicable green program for use on potential future projects.
  2. Explain the key requirements and differences between the three most popular national green certifications.
  3. Identify next steps to pursuing a certification under one of these programs.
  4. Apply a better understanding of the benefits of green building to the builders, owners and tenants of multifamily buildings.

  Covering the history of moisture issues related to stucco. This program will focus on moisture management of plaster over a variety of substrates. Architects, designers and the construction team will benefit knowing the evolution of plaster and water intrusion issues. The program will include an in-depth look at the new requirements of the 2021 building code and how they relate to the various Climates Zones around the country.

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify the three major principles/methods of moisture management for exterior claddings.
  2. Assess the method of moisture management for the situation.
  3. Apply the moisture management principles and use them to be in code compliance.
  4. Compare the principles of moisture management and apply them to details using cement plaster.
