Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals are asked to make informed materials decisions on an almost-daily basis - decisions which call for a foundational understanding of how those materials are made and their potential impact on the building’s health, sustainability and resiliency. This course helps architects, engineers, designers and contractors navigate the complexity of materials selection by providing an overview of the role of chemistry in enhancing the product and building performance. The course provides a review of key methodologies for measuring benefits and relevant information to help inform product selection. Further, it provides a primer on how chemicals are regulated in the marketplace.

In many projects, installation of floor finishes is one of the items to occur prior to substantial completion.  However, 09 flooring specification sections require moisture testing before flooring can be installed on concrete slabs.  When those moisture tests fail, the project faces time delays, unexpected costs, or both.  During this presentation, we will:  (1) give significant discussion to the importance of design intent and how losing focus on what the owner expects can lead to catastrophic, consequences (2) examine several misconceptions associated with field moisture testing and project owner and design team liablility associated with concrete moisture induces flooring failure; and (3) we will give clear recommendations as to how the specifying professional can eliminate concrete moisture as a project delivery issue while simultaneously protecting the project owner and design team from project delivery delays/cost overruns and future failed flooring.

Architects and LEED professionals understand the numerous benefits of building with wood. But, many are unaware of its application in a timber curtain wall (TCW). Today’s technology provides opportunities to incorporate the beauty and energy-efficiency of wood into glazed facades that not only bring the outdoors in but also serve as the building’s heavy lifter. 

This course will present the differences between a conventional curtain wall and a timber curtain wall (TCW) including load-bearing and non-load-bearing capabilities as well as net-zero and passive building. We will also show example of projects using TWC.

When considering the building enclosure, fire safety is an important design factor and needs to be considered hand-in-hand with energy code requirements. By developing a better understanding of how the material and systems testing standards for fire safety can impact the overall design, architects and designers can confidently and freely design spaces that could save lives in the event of fire.This presentation will review common fire standards including NFPA 285 test standard. It will outline the criteria for compliance, as well as identify triggers and contributors under the different standards. Participants will review how the selection building components such as insulation, air/water resistive barriers, claddings finishes, can affect the fire performance of an assembly, and identify solutions and common paths for compliance.

This course focuses on the effect biological and physical agents have on the wood substrate of the exterior building envelope. After reviewing these agents, you will learn how proper installation and best building practices can limit the exposure these agents can pose to your project. Durable wood substrates will also be discussed with a comparison of popular man-made durability agents used to further protect the exterior envelope.
