  Moisture Mitigation: Planning for Success

GRATUIT

Description

This course will examine concrete slab moisture and how it will impact a flooring system. We will review how slab moisture originates, how that impacts the soundness of the flooring system, what failures may occur and how to address moisture issues. Concrete, moisture testing, substrate examination and systems that resist or control moisture will be reviewed. Participants will benefit from this instruction learning how to select moisture testing or mitigation systems and will be able to make the best decision on appropriate measure to manage slab moisture challenges for a successful, sustainable and sound flooring installation.

  Biophilic Design for All: Affordable, Low-Maintenance Materials That Mimic Nature


GRATUIT

Description

Most architects have heard about biophilic design and agree with the concept of bringing the outdoors inside. However, very few designers take purposeful steps to incorporate it into their plans. Designers may assume that biophilic design is expensive or high maintenance, reserved for only those high-end projects. One may assume that bringing nature inside is complicated and requires customization. An architect may assume that some projects don’t warrant biophilia, like a warehouse. In this one-hour course, we’ll address those assumptions that hold architects back. We’ll introduce a simulated-wood product that mimics nature and delivers that positive human response. You’ll see numerous design ideas and applications that exemplify economical and low maintenance solutions for any project type. At the end of...

  American Hardwoods and Their Role in Carbon Neutral Design


GRATUIT

Description

“American Hardwoods and Their Role in Carbon-Neutral Design,” is an hour long course that begins with a look at Hardwoods 101 – What are hardwoods? Where do they grow and how abundant are they? Who owns them? And how do we get them?” It then presents the science surrounding hardwoods; the significant role they play in the environment and finally, as a materials choice, discusses their significant role in sustainable building. At the conclusion of the course, specifiers can be confident that when they choose American hardwoods, they are selecting a quintessentially green material that is ever renewing, abundant and sustainable.

  Sustainable Exterior Envelope


GRATUIT

Description

This course focus 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.

  Understanding "Wood Aesthetic" Cladding and Soffit Technologies


GRATUIT

Description

The look of “Wood” provides warmth in a building design that cannot be achieved by masonry, metals or other building materials. Natural wood is a traditional option, but newer composite and synthetic products replicate the look of natural wood but offer superior color retention and life-cycle performance while requiring little to no maintenance. This learning unit will provide an in- depth overview of current “wood” design technologies natural and synthetic.
