This presentation will provide an overview of the benefits of vegetative roofing, discuss market drivers, design and installation methods, and maintenance considerations.

Day lighting uses no energy to create light, it is Zero-Based Carbon which Improves air quality by reducing CO2 emissions. Day lighting systems supports the body’s natural circadian rhythms which improves productivity Natural light provides best possible learning environment. Studies show students perform up to 26% better on testing Natural light can increase employees satisfaction at work. Studies show workers are 15-25% more productive in daylit facilities

This program discusses the most common details that must be addressed in any roof design, while exploring the basic concepts involved in both single-ply and asphalt roof system details. We’ll also take a look at a number of examples of what not to do when it comes to detailing your roof, as well as exploring benefits of liquid-applied flashing solutions.

This course explains the different types of low-slope roofing warranties. Clarifies normal exclusions. Illuminates the responsibilities of the manufacturer and owner. Utilizes case study examples to illustrate warrantable and non-warrantable conditions.

What is a Monolithic Roof System? Review Low VOC Top Coats. What he Environmental Benefits of a SPF Roof System, discuss Reflectance, R-Value and Air Sealing and how it effect energy usage. You will be able to explain Urban Heat Island (UHI) and the effect it has on our air and water quality. How the Ozone is affected. What it does to our local Eco System, the effects of global warming, and how if effects human and environmental comfort. Next, discuss ways we can adverse the Urban Heat Island. How specifying SPF will cut energy usage, energy cost and human comfort. What energy saving programs available. The Building Benefits for your design.

The roof is the first line of defense to protect the safety of building occupants and content during a weather event. This presentation provides information on how a resilient roofing system supports that objective for wind uplift.

In my presentation participants will gain an understand of what spray foam insulation is. The characteristics, components and what makes a quality SPF product. Then discuss building benefits using spray insulation; Sustainability, where energy is lost in conventional insulation systems, energy analysis and case studies of buildings. Understand Air Leakage and what causes it. Next we will Review ICC and IRC building codes. We will discuss how to achieve R value in building design and discuss the difference of thermal barriers and ignition Barriers. Finally we will review what you are looking at on PDS and product evaluation reports.

This program discusses the most widely utilized commercial roof cover technology – thermoplastic membranes, with a core focus on TPO and PVC applications. Similarities and differences in the production, installation, and performance of thermoplastic roofing membranes will be explored. The presenter will also note the advantages of viewing a roofing assembly as a “system,” instead of just a membrane and its accessories, and provide guidance on how to choose the appropriate roofing system for a given building.

This course takes a close look at the functions of the exterior wall cavity and offers tools to better understand how to meet current code and design requirements for commercial buildings.

Waterproofing Solutions highlights and discusses in depth the installation procedures and various materials that can be utilized in several waterproofing applications. The learning objectives of the course are to understand damp-proofing vs. waterproofing, damp-proofing examples, waterproofing examples, reasons for waterproofing and applications.

Covers the purpose of insulation; current code & environmental issues; the function & different types of roof insulations; compares performance of different types; layout and attachment methods; condensation issues and tapered insulation.

This course will provide an overview of single ply roofing systems.

Discover what safety benefits single-ply roofing systems provide to building occupants, the three major attachment methods of single-ply roofing systems, and how the membrane attachment method affects the insulation attachment method and attachment rates.

This course provides an introduction to roof coatings, the various types and applications as well as performance and energy benefits.

We will describe the attributes of the various cold applied coatings that are available in the marketplace (acrylics, polyurethanes, silicones), discuss the benefits of a white reflective roof versus non-reflective surfaces, as it relates to energy consumption, explore the various components of a roof coating, and highlight how to install a coating to perform to its capabilities.

Overview of the types of architectural steep-slope metal roofing systems, metal types and finish types, system selection, substrates and fastening methods.

This course is critical to demonstrate the different options for metal roofing systems to ensure the performance and application requirements are understood for maximum performance ensuring the health and safety of building occupants and the impact on any environmental factors.

A roofing system is a building's first line of defense against severe weather events. A roofing system must be attached to a roof deck properly to protect the occupants from harm and the building content from damage. Attendees will gain a working knowledge of single-ply system attachment methods, adhesives, fasteners and other accessories, and understand the variety of forces acting upon a roof and how single-ply roofing systems respond to their influence. The presentation will review the impact of environmental codes and standards on roofing system composition to meet ever more stringent air quality, thermal and moisture resistance requirements, and we will explore recent insurance, warranty and code changes affecting the roofing contractor, building owner and facility manager.

A Level 1 Single-Ply Roof Covers presentation that will cover benefits, differences between membranes and the major differences between seaming methods. Along with the attachment methods.
