Exterior Continuous Insulated Claddings for Energy Efficiency and Architectural Diversity. 

1 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD Hour

1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals (GBCI Course ID: 0090005704)

Provider: Dryvit System, Inc. | Course: BL0002

Presenter:  Jeff Brunner

·         Deconstruct the "perceived" value of traditional insulation methods and reduced performance within framed wall assemblies and reconstruct new strategies for developing true "effective" insulation value and high performance.

·         Identify and define model energy code and green design standard's requirements for exterior continuous insulation.

·         Differentiate between "prescriptive"  R-value "performance"  U-factor wall design paths and recognize where continuous insulation must be integrated.

·         Discover the interrelationship between exterior insulated cladding and the use of continuous insulation to achieve energy efficient, cost effective and aesthetically pleasing design solutions.

Understanding Special Purpose Doors and Windows
1.5 AIA/CES LU/HSW Hours
Provider: Krieger Specialty Products | Course: SPEC-01

Presenter: Bob Carpenter

This presentation consists of a comprehensive overview of specialty doors, frames and windows – including acoustical/STC, blast, explosion and pressure resistant, bullet, ballistic and fragmentation/projectile resistant, radio frequency and electromagnetic interference shielded, stainless steel and thermal barrier types. The program investigates factors to consider when designing and specifying these special application products. It aims to educate, thereby helping ensure appropriate decision-making on applications.
