FULL DAY of Interactive Online Seminars

A building envelope is the physical separator between conditioned and unconditioned environments of a building including the resistance to air, water, heat, light, and noise transfer. Building Science is young and pesticides have not been a concern to most designers But why not use the same envelope, with several upgrades and tweaks, to also exclude termites, insects, and other pests? This building envelope upgrade, which consists of non-chemical physical barriers and several new pest exclusion details, provides a new element of sustainability. Need for pesticides is reduced, and comfort of occupants is increased. In areas where termite pressure exists, building life is extended because of the physical exclusion of termites. The enhanced building envelope discussed here has been developed over a 20-year period of working with entomology scientists at Texas A&M, University of Florida, University of Georgia, and LSU.

This course will assist the building design professionals to: Understand the history of Portland Cement Stucco and why this exterior is best fit for warm, humid, hurricane prone climates. Review the ASTM standards step-by-step to understand its positives and negatives to minimize/eliminate potential problems. Realize the specific challenges of Climate Zones 1 and 2 and why Portland Cement Stucco needs to be considered differently in southern and coastal climates versus other climate zones. Compare face barrier systems versus other water management design options. Test your stucco standards knowledge to learn what to look for in correct stucco construction techniques. Build a warranted stucco system with proper finishing standards and trained, certified installers. Identify potential pitfalls to provide a schedule for proper maintenance and repair.

The informed specification of ceiling systems can contribute to high speech intelligibility, minimal noise, a naturally lit environment, and good air quality. This leads to better behavior and an enhanced learning process. This course demonstrates the importance of ceiling systems to a high-performing school, and therefore to the development of high-performing students, and to the wellbeing of educators and administrators. To improve the performance of schools and students, look up. It could be as simple as that.

As architects push the boundaries of design, the need for a material that offers the greatest amount of flexibility is required. From the vast number of aesthetic options, superior durability, cost efficiencies, and ease of installation in all weather conditions, single-component metal panel systems offer such flexibility.

Masonry construction presents a myriad of challenges for specifiers -especially those who are less familiar with masonry construction methods, performance standards and assembly detailing. A new wave of BLM modeling tools seeks to bridge the gap between these challenges and the extensive benefits of masonry construction, including resiliency, energy performance and unique aesthetics. This presentation provides a practical overview of BIM and its impact on the construction industry, with a focus on new software tools that are changing the way masonry is designed, specified, ordered, manufactured, shipped, installed and maintained. Additionally, this course will delve into masonry building codes -with a focusing on energy codes -and how they work together with masonry materials to deliver safer, healthier and higher-performing buildings for occupants.
