Building Envelope: Solutions to Design Sustainable Buildings

08:00 AM - 09:00 AM

This course will take a closer look at residential energy use and how building codes and standards are driving improved energy performance in homes.

We will analyze new design and construction methods, materials, and systems that can be used to help reduce the energy requirements of homes and make them more efficient.

It has become more and more evident that the performance of the building envelope can be greatly affected by thermal bridging. This presentation will discuss the use of fluid-applied coatings as a new and innovative solution to minimize thermal bridging in both new and existing buildings. We will cover some key areas of concern where a fluid-applied coating can be utilized without altering the structural design elements of the building and help in saving the owner/end user time and money.

This is an hour long course that begins with a look at Hardwoods' basics. It then presents the science surrounding hardwoods; the significant role they play in the environment and finally, as a material choice, discusses their importance in sustainable building. At the conclusion of the session attendees can be confident knowing that when they choose North American hardwoods, they are selecting a quintessentially green material that is ever-renewing, abundant and sustainable.

This 1-hour presentation identifies the various levels in which gypsum board surface is finished for the particular board application and final decoration. Each level of finish is defined per ASTM C840 and presented in discussion, details and samples to establish a clear visualization of these levels of board finish. A new and extraordinary “level of finish” is introduced and examined as a “Basis of Specification” for your more demanding design and board finish requirements.

With urbanization on the rise, the vertical transportation industry is challenged more than ever to provide eco-efficient, cost-saving, and space-saving solutions. This session will cover the history of elevator technology and compare conventional applications with today's technological advancements, enabling attendees to critique the risks and disadvantages of dated technology and identify the advantages of newer technology. In particular, attendees will learn about both recent developments and future trends concerning machine-room-less (MRL) elevators. The presentation will address design benefits, installation and ownership costs, and LEED contributions.

Resiliency is a growing necessity. It is important to understand the impacts on the built environment resulting from natural and manmade disasters and disturbances and to design for those impacts now. Presented in this course is an overview of the benefits of using steel doors as part of a resilient design strategy for applications requiring resistance to blasts, tornadoes, and ballistics.
