February 6th, 11:00am - 4:00pm ET
Join us on February 6, 2025, from 11 AM to 4 PM EST for an engaging virtual experience focused on energy efficiency in building enclosures. Earn 4 CEUs while exploring vital courses including "CI by Climate Zone in Commercial Energy and Building Codes," "Pitfalls and Challenges to Avoid in NFPA 285 Engineering Judgements," and "Extra R-Value: How to Get More with Less." Participate in trivia and win exciting prizes throughout the event!
CI by Climate Zone in Commercial Energy and Building Codes
This course presents and explains commercial building energy code and building code requirements that are inter-related and vary across US climate zones for building thermal envelopes. The course focuses on coordinating building code vapor control requirements and energy code insulation requirements with a particular focus on optimizing the value of continuous insulation on frame wall assemblies by leveraging the multi-functional capabilities of foam plastic insulating sheathing. Practical technical resources and useful design tools also will be shared to help efficiently optimize walls for code compliance and performance.

Pitfalls and Challenges to Avoid in NFPA 285 Engineering Judgements
Engineering Judgement are a necessary tool to provide and ensure the fire protection and life safety of buildings. The exponential number of wall assembly combinations and detailing of enclosure assemblies in the built environment prevents the opportunity to confirm fire performance through direct testing. This is especially true with the required investment of time, effort, and cost of larger scale tests such as NFPA 285. Qualified Fire Engineering teams in partnership with third-party labs and the product manufacturers offer the opportunity to extend successful test results beyond the tested specimen through a Letter of Engineering Judgement. This presentation will discuss the opportunity, challenges and limitations present when considering acceptance of test data extended to support substitution or modification to an assembly.

Extra R-Value: How to Get More with Less Space
From pitched to low slope roofing a myriad of designs are possible. Conventional roofing with the waterproofing membrane located weather-side and Protected Membrane roofing with the waterproofing membrane located at the deck can be used on buildings of various end-use, be low or high albedo surfaced (solar gain). Add to this vegetative roof assemblies (green roofs), roofs with solar arrays, blue roofs (stormwater management), - and no two roofs are alike. Join us to review the modern roof taxonomies and associated benefits and drawbacks, learn about latest options in roof construction, and reflect on performance differences.

Stormwater Management Solutions for Rooftops
Climate change has significantly altered rainfall patterns across the globe and one of the most promising solutions to improve urban and suburban resiliency is to transform rooftops into stormwater management tools. This presentation is a review of how Vegetative Roofs, where rain is stored in plants, growing media, and drainage components, and Blue Roofs, where rain is captured and stored in open spaces within ballast, under pavers, or under vegetative roofs, can be a tool for design professionals to address stormwater needs.
