  Gauged Porcelain Tiles

  1 LU/HSW

  Learn the newest manufacturing technology and its effect on all aspects of construction. Review use of technical information in the calculations for "green building associations" and how to specify the technical information available for large format porcelain tiles. Understand installation procedures and discuss installer's training required by ANSI. Examine case studies on energy savings, recycled contents, and how the "greenest flooring material" contributes to the health, safety and welfare of occupants.

  Learning Objectives

  • Review the new manufacturing process for large format tiles advancing options for designers.
  • Explore the physical differences between types of ceramics and their affects on construction, from aesthetic options in the design phase, to "sustainable design" options with high graphical imagery and surface coefficient of frictions for every application.
  • Review the installation procedures and discuss installer's training required by ANSI 108.19-2017 to install large format tiles.

  High Performance Gypsum: Protect against Mold, Moisture and Exposure

  NGC070

  1 LU/HSW

  
  

  This course focuses on gypsum products manufactured with fiberglass facing which replaces the paper facing typically used on gypsum board. These products are regarded as “high performance” due to their superior weather resistance, superior fire resistance, and superior mold resistance. Five common product types include panels manufactured for 1.) exterior wall sheathing, 2.) shaftliner for cavity walls and area separation walls 3.) potential interior high-moisture conditions, 4.) tile backer boards for wet areas, and 5.) roof coverboards for low slope roof applications. The presentation outlines the high-performance characteristics of fiberglass faced gypsum products. The basic applications, attributes, advantages, and limitations of each of the five common product types are described. By understanding the performance and features of these fiberglass faced gypsum products, the specifications and drawing details can be properly prepared for successful use in buildings. 

  
  

  • Review gypsum board manufacturing process including the use of gypsum rock and byproduct gypsum.
  • Outline the fire-resistant characteristics of gypsum board and review different core types.
  • Provide an overview of the high-performance characteristics of fiberglass faced gypsum boards related to moisture, mold, fire-resistance, durability and exposure.
  • Highlight the key standards and attributes to include in a specification for high-performance products and identify the appropriate locations for these products.

  Improved Natural Disaster Design Using Rolling Doors

  Course Number COR800

  1 HSW

  Course Description

  Learn how different closure options can protect a building while also keeping natural light flow; how service, insulated and fire doors can be configured to withstand the full range of specific wind loads requirements (including missile impact ratings); and the importance of third party testing for closure products. Attendees will:

  • Understand the difference between operable and static wind load ratings, and what it means for the rest of the building.
  • Understand new regulations, particularly those recently introduced in the mid-states, including FEMA P-361 and ICC500.
  • Detail the importance of fortifying building openings in wind-prone areas.
  • Identify how necessary function can meet aesthetic objectives using coiling doors vs. traditional swing doors.

  Improved Natural Disaster Design Using Rolling Doors

  Course Number COR800

  1 HSW

  Course Description

  Learn how different closure options can protect a building while also keeping natural light flow; how service, insulated and fire doors can be configured to withstand the full range of specific wind loads requirements (including missile impact ratings); and the importance of third party testing for closure products. Attendees will:

  • Understand the difference between operable and static wind load ratings, and what it means for the rest of the building.
  • Understand new regulations, particularly those recently introduced in the mid-states, including FEMA P-361 and ICC500.
  • Detail the importance of fortifying building openings in wind-prone areas.
  • Identify how necessary function can meet aesthetic objectives using coiling doors vs. traditional swing doors.

  Enhancing Outdoor Living - Current Trends

  & The Role of Aluminum Shade Structures

  
  

  1 HSW/LU

  
  

  Course Description

  This course delves into the increasing and expanding role of outdoor living and its importance in households, businesses, and communities. Reviewed are the styles and specification considerations of aluminum shading products. The focus is pergolas and cabanas, made with insulated, dual-walled aluminum louvers that seal completely to block rain and snow and complement any architectural style.

  Learning Objectives:

  • Examine the current trends in outdoor living, including using outdoor spaces as an extension of indoor activities like socializing, cooking, and entertaining.
  • State how modern aluminum cover structures for residential and commercial applications have been adapted to bioclimatic designs that leverage an eco-conscious approach.
  • Discuss the role of pergolas and cabanas in expanding livable spaces, enhancing year-round outdoor living, and improving occupant comfort and wellness.
  • Describe the materials, styles, and specification considerations for shade structures to ensure a durable, low-maintenance, long-lasting solution.
