Air & Moisture Management in the building envelope
Review and understand the differences between air, vapor and water barriers, the functions each perform, and proper placement within various wall assemblies. Learn how continuous insulation can control condensation and moisture building up within the building envelope. Understand the thermal properties, production methods and applications of basic types of foam plastic insulation products.
Introduction to Metal Roofing
Learn the history of metal panels in the construction industry and the characteristics and type of metals used for roof panels, as well as the finish options. Topics to be discussed are low slope, steep slope, hybrid systems, and related systems.
Energy Efficient Building Envelope Technology- Building Green with Metal
This presentation will cover how metal cladding on roofs and walls can contribute to a sustainable building initiative, building integrated photovoltaic system (bipv), cool metal roofing, above sheathing ventilation, and transpired solar collectors.
