ECOMAXci® FR Air Barrier allows for optimum efficiency through multiple design options, ease of construction, a better building envelope and reduced energy usage.
All Weather Insulated Panels (AWIP) has named a new president, Greg Lusty, who previously held the position of AWIP’s Vice President of Sales for the last four years.
A successful recladding project is usually only known by the project team, as the final product looks almost identical to the original product, just without the deterioration.
On-Demand: This presentation will provide an introduction to the building science of these key four phenomena of building physics, the mechanism for how they work, and strategies for controlling their transport in assemblies.
On-Demand: This session will provide strategies for other cities struggling with sustainability addressing housing and transportation needs. Urban planners, architects, and policymakers will benefit most from this course.
On-Demand Low-slope roof design includes decisions that incorporate building design parameters, roof system components, and attachment methods. This presentation will provide the knowledge required to formulate the best design for your next roofing project.
On-Demand: This course will introduce participants to the fundamentals of prefabricated walls, and detail the features, benefits, and design considerations of Prefabricated EIFS-Clad Wall Assemblies.
On-Demand: Ready to start mastering fees and better understand what they mean for your bottom line? To do so, let’s start at the very beginning—when you receive a request for a proposal. In this course, you will learn how to define your project scope, develop a Rough Order of Magnitude of construction cost, and estimate your project hours. We’ll finish off with how fees are broken down and explore a simple system to improve your overall project profitability.
On-Demand The course will describe how a high-quality blend of modified bitumen is manufactured, the types and role of the layers of a mod-bit system, the installation options for APP and SBS modified rolls, and the benefits of asphaltic roof systems.
On-Demand: A step-by-step look at each critical detail in regards to sequence of construction and the various connections to ensure airtight/watertight and thermally protected details. Real life photos and job conditions will highlight the realities of the construction process to show typical errors found and how those errors can be addressed correctly.
On-Demand In this presentation, we will cover exactly what can be expected of PVC roof membranes and the differences among PVC, PVC-KEE and TPO. This will lead to an in-depth discussion of which projects benefit most from the unique properties of PVC and PVC-KEE membranes, including specific case studies.
On-Demand This course explores six key concepts that can impact Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings in wall assemblies, enabling the achievement of desired acoustic outcomes.
On-Demand This program will provide an overview of the roofing-related changes contained in the International Building Code, 2024 Edition. The newest edition to the building code incorporates notable changes in design wind load, occupiable rooftop, rooftop-mounted PV and reroofing provisions. Designers need to be aware of these changes and account for them in their designs.
