Designing Functional Outdoor Living Space

Sponsored By Wolf Home Products

Presented By Jason Foura

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

Overview of the outdoor living space and materials used in outdoor living design. Material selection, care and design, will be discussed, and common misconceptions will be addressed.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the evolution of the outdoor living market. Discuss how new materials have longer sustainability on life cycle costs and how wood and older materials have continued to create maintenance issues and if not maintained can create safety issues with Code related materials on decking and railing.
Address trends and materials used in outdoor living spaces. Trends are moving toward more Aluminum railing items. Some competitors don’t have IRC and IBC coded materials in the field.
Apply standard design principles and how they relate to outdoor living spaces. Many of the design principles relate to safety because of life cycle maintenance as well as improper flashing and installation that lead to unsafe building practices.
Identify and explain common misconceptions and safety issues in designing outdoor living spaces. Decking today has many options when it comes to installation and using the proper installation hardware. We review all code rulings for decking and railing.
Explain proper use and care of outdoor living spaces and how to avoid them for extended performance. We review how some chemicals can harm the decking material and which products can be safely used to provide a non-toxic method to maintaining the life of your deck and rail material. Some products can react to PVC and cause issues to the capstop.

Concrete Tile Roofing: The World's Most Sustainable and Energy Efficient Roof System...

Sponsored By Eagle Roofing

Presented By David Vallas

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour

In this one hour course, we will take an in-depth look at the sustainability and energy efficient attributes of concrete tile roofing, including the near zero-waste manufacturing process, life-cycle cost and performance versus temporary asphalt shingle roofing as well as the installation process which enhances the inherent thermal mass

Learning Objectives:

Discuss how the versatility of concrete tile roofing combined with its durability makes it one of the most sustainable roofing products available
Consider the value of products composed of a small number of raw materials that are sustainable, including some recycled materials
Review the near zero waste manufacturing process of concrete roof tiles from the introduction of raw materials to the finished product
Compare and contrast an installation method that exploits the air permeable characteristics of concrete tile roofs versus temporary roofing materials
Identify key performance characteristics of concrete tile roofing including wind and hail resistance
Analyze the longevity, durability, and overall life cycle cost analysis of concrete roof tile compared to asphalt shingles, wood shakes, slate, and metal
Confidently specify concrete tile roofing as an alternative to slate, metal, wood shakes, and temporary asphalt shingles

Presented By Grant Ostvig

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

Attendees of this one hour spray foam education course will receive one SD/HSW credit. We will focus on the non-residential use of spray foam as an insulation, air barrier material, and various assemblies.

Learning Objectives:

Participants can describe the effect of the building code on spray foam insulation.
Participants can describe the effect of spray foam on the indoor environment.
Participants can explain the impact of spray foam on a building's energy performance.
Participants can explain the life cycle analysis of spray foam and payback periods.
