Vinyl plays a major role in the design and construction of modern buildings. It contributes to sustainability, wellness and resilience of people and their communities. This session will demonstrate the importance of achieving client performance goals using thoughtful, multi-attribute material selection criteria. Learning Objectives: 1. How vinyl is made, most versatile plastic in construction 2. Three parts of sustainability, how resilience enables people and communities to bounce back 3. Understanding disclosure and optimization, selection criteria, hazard, exposure, risk 4. Role of materials in health and wellness 5. Industry improvements, best practice, aspirations for a sustainable future

During our Building Façade Glazing training, participants will learn about the different families of sealants and how to choose the correct product for each application. We will discuss the effect of UV light on sealants and the difference between structural or non structural silicone sealants. And finally, the importance of surface preparation before sealing joints.

This course provides an understanding of vinyl and aluminum railing systems including components and assembly. We’ll review ADA-compliance requirements for the graspable handrail and code requirements specific for rail systems, dictated by the ICC. We’ll discuss the common benefits of vinyl and aluminum railings including safety, durability, low maintenance, high strength, and flexible design. The environment-conscious elements of these railing systems including materials selection, manufacturing processes, and LEED contribution will be described. Lastly, this course provides ideas and applications appropriate for vinyl and aluminum railing systems.

Today’s specifiers expect cost-effective building solutions that deliver superior performance without compromising design or the environment. This course explains how the Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) meets those expectations. You’ll see the composition of the IMP and how its materials affect thermal performance, strength, and resistance to moisture, weather, and fire. The choice of materials also contributes to green-building goals at every stage of the product’s life cycle. The IMP is factory assembled, assuring high quality through consistency and accuracy. Installation costs are greatly reduced because the IMP arrives to the job site ready to install in one step. And the superior thermal performance means a reduction in operating costs (not to mention reduced emissions). Lastly, this course will deliver tremendous inspiration through project examples with numerous combinations of colors, materials, textures, and even curves that meet the functionality of any building type.
