Next Level Cladding with Resin Cast Shapes

Designers, owners, and occupants all value the appeal of natural brick and wood for exterior cladding and interior surfaces. But these natural materials come with drawbacks. Wood can split, warp, cup, mold, and attract insects. Brick is heavy and susceptible to efflorescence. Quality control is not assured. The fresh alternative is resin cast shapes that mimic wood and brick, delivering the benefits of biophilia and a sense of connection with the natural world, but without the problems. This course examines the wood and brick aesthetic of resin cast shapes and demonstrates their sustainability and performance qualities. They are durable, lightweight, easy to install, and contribute to a continuous building envelope. Case studies of noteworthy projects illustrate the superior form and function of this next-level cladding alternative.

Striking the Carbon Balance: Plastic Insulation’s Impact on Life Cycle Emissions Reduction

This course intended to draw the connections between global climate action goals and the role of the built environment to drive carbon emissions to zero by 2050. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act shines a light on how low carbon building material selection is one of the keys to reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S. High performance, sustainable products and thoughtful assemblies designed with the entire building life cycle in mind are critical to our sustainable communities of the future. Attendees will gain an in depth understanding between the embodied carbon of building products and how the operational carbon of the built environment is linked to some of these products, such as insulation.
