Wood-Plastic Composite Cladding Sustainable Rainscreen Wall System

Wood-Plastic Composite Cladding Sustainable Rainscreen Wall System

Sponsored By Fiberon Composite Cladding
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

Rain is one of the most important things to control in wall construction for both a building’s structural integrity and the occupants’ health. Join us in this one-hour course as we discuss the aesthetic, performance, and sustainable attributes of wood-plastic composites (WPCs) for use in rainscreen applications.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Identify potential moisture management issues that can cause harm to both a building’s aesthetic and structural integrity as well as occupants’ health and safety.
  2. List four basic components of rainscreen wall systems that help minimize rainwater passage into the wall and effectively dissipates any water remaining back to the exterior.
  3. Compare and contrast the suitability of various cladding materials to serve in rainscreen systems, particularly their durability, sustainability, and safety.
  4. Evaluate wood-plastic composite (WPC) cladding options for use in rainscreen applications, including recyclability, strength, and life-cycle cost attributes.

Insulated Metal Panels: Where Performance Meets Design

Insulated Metal Panels: Where Performance Meets Design

Sponsored By Norbec
Presented By Jonathan Singleton
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

Today’s specifiers expect cost-effective building solutions that deliver superior performance without compromising design or the environment. This course explains how the Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) meets those expectations.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Define the role of the Insulated Metal Panel (IMP) as a cladding solution for new projects and retrofits.
  2. Explain how the IMP’s materials and factory assembly deliver superior thermal performance, fire protection, resistance to moisture, increased strength, and even acoustic control.
  3. Acknowledge the significant cost savings of the IMP through one-step/one-day installation and reduced energy costs to operate the building
  4. Understand the IMPs contribution to green building including environment considerations in material sourcing, installation, building use, and reuse/recycling at end of life.
