Schedule
9:00 to 10:15 a.m. Breakfast served
"Principles of Attic Design" (BSP22)
LU: 1 SD/HSW
Presented by CertainTeed
Instructor Lucas Hamilton is a physicist with over 25 years experience in construction and construction products manufacturing. He has diagnosed and tested forensic building envelopes, developed non-intrusive construction analysis equipment and techniques, and researched and created new construction materials. He is well-versed in a variety of building performance simulation software.
After taking this course, you should be able to:
- Describe the systematic approach architects and builders take when designing today’s homes
- Explain how attic ventilation works
- Describe some of the common problems that arise in poorly designed attics
- Discuss some of the considerations that should be taken into account when designing an attic
- Describe the importance of insulation for the attic system, and some of the types of ventilation materials available
- Describe the importance of ventilation for the attic system
- Describe some of the roof system requirements that need to be incorporated into designs for integrated attic systems
10:30 to 11:45 a.m.
"Commercial Building Science: Moisture Management" (BSP712)
LU: 1 SD/HSW
Presented by CertainTeed
Instructor Lucas Hamilton is a physicist with over 25 years experience in construction and construction products manufacturing. He has diagnosed and tested forensic building envelopes, developed non-intrusive construction analysis equipment and techniques, and researched and created new construction materials. He is well-versed in a variety of building performance simulation software.
After taking this course, you should be able to:
- Understand the four moisture flow mechanisms
- Describe the various US climate zone designations
- Describe design considerations necessary to manage moisture in steel stud cavity wall assemblies
- Understand the concept of hygrothermal analysis
- Describe roofing system design considerations for moisture management
- Describe fenestration product installation considerations
- Recognize the various moisture sources in buildings
Noon to 1:15 p.m. (Lunch served)
"Energy Efficient Building Envelope Technology: Green Building with Metal" (ATA004)
LU: 1 SD/HSW
Presented by ATAS
Instructor Steve Minunni is an accredited LEED Green Associate and has served as a Territory Manager with ATAS International for over 11 years.
- Understand how metal cladding on roofs and walls can contribute to a sustainable building initiative
- Understand the concept and technology of a building integrated photovoltaic system and how the photovoltaic laminate uses sunlight to generate electricity
- Understand the combination of solar reflectance and thermal emittance of cool metal roofing, the concepts of above sheathing ventilation and the requirements for Energy Star qualified roof products. View the results of a case study of a building that lowered energy costs by using a cool roof.
- Understand the function of a transpired solar collector, benefits during the heating and cooling seasons, effects of wall orientation and view the results from a case study.
1:30 to 2:45 p.m.
"Conventional Roof Insulation – Making an Informed Decision" (CONVRF)
LU: 1 SD, HSW
Presented by Dow Building Solutions
Instructor Eric Verley has been associated with the commercial construction market since 1985. He has a vast knowledge of the thermal performance of building walls and spends the majority of his time presenting seminars to the architectural community.
This program is designed to provide the design community with the knowledge to make informed analysis and decisions when specifying and detailing insulation used in conventional roofing applications.
3:00 to 4:15 p.m.
"Using 1-Part Polyurethane Adhesives in Roofing" (PUFADH)
LU: 1 SD, HSW
Presented by Dow Building Solutions
