Air curtains create a controlled stream of air across a door or window opening, providing significant energy savings to building owners and helping to maintain interior building temperatures. In addition, some have optional features that can clean and sanitize the air near the opening. This course examines additional features that some models offer in the form of airborne pathogen and virus control and irradiation to help manage the virus level and the disbursement of untreated air near the opening. This course examines how air curtains can reduce airborne pathogens and viruses and improve the indoor air quality near the opening and the various technologies to eradicate and/or collect pathogens, how and when to operate air curtains operate and properly identify...

Thermal bridging has been found to adversely affect the heating and cooling of buildings in a significant way. Three dimensional thermal modeling has shown thermal bridging often occurs at predictable structural transitions and that thermal breaks can significantly reduce conductive heat losses in those areas. This course will explain what thermal bridging is, where it occurs, and present strategies to help control it. As we build more efficient buildings that are comfortable and safe, we need to look for better ways to insulate structural transition areas with materials that can bear weight, and insulate.

Many architects, engineers, and builders don’t consider the threat of Formosan termites. They therefore leave the building owner and future occupants with the ongoing task of using chemical pesticides and/or repairing significant damage. Do you build in the termite zone? Domestic subterranean termites exist throughout the mainland. Now much of the United States is susceptible to Formosan termite infestation, which has been expanding since 1975. Any new build within this termite zone should incorporate the steps to provide long-term protection against Formosan and native American subterranean termites. This course will describe the Formosan termite and the damage it can cause. We’ll review the preventative but long-term processes that many building owners take to prevent infestation. Most importantly, this course will...

This presentation explains how the addition of crystalline technology interacts with concrete to produce a structure with a significant increase in durability and service life. It discusses how a deeply embedded network of insoluble crystals makes permeable concrete virtually impervious to water and all harmful water-soluble materials, such as chlorides and sulfates. It demonstrates how a durable waterproof structure can be designed and built without negatively affecting the placement or performance characteristics of the concrete. The prevention of damage due to corrosion, freeze-thaw, ASR and chemical attack will be analyzed. The ability of the crystalline technology to streamline project costs and fast-track construction schedules will be highlighted. Real world applications through examination of projects in various industries will provide the...

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.
