Benefits of High Efficiency Gas Water Heaters: Tank & Tankless Commercial Applications

Sponsored By Rheem Commercial Water

Presented By Chris Johnson

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 RCEP PDH(s) for Engineers

To optimize the design and performance of commercial water heater systems, professionals should understand the difference between standard and high efficiency gas water heaters. Join us in this one-hour course as we cover the benefits of high efficiency gas water heaters and how to easily convert from standard to high efficiency.

Learning Objectives:

Compare and contrast standard efficiency and high efficiency gas water heaters for energy consumption, cost savings, and environmental impact
Model best practices for converting from existing standard gas water heaters to high efficiency gas water heaters so projects remain cost-effective and time efficient
Determine the correct water heater for different applications based on time, temperature, and quantity to improve thermal efficiency and occupant comfort
Illustrate best practices for piping and venting multiple water heaters to ensure projects are safe and code compliant
Recall advanced and emerging technologies in water heating that improve on efficiency and building integration

Breathing Freely: How HVAC Systems can Enhance Indoor Environmental and Air Quality

Sponsored By Rheem Commercial Air

Presented By Kyle Troskot

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 GBCI General Hour
1 RCEP PDH(s) for Engineers

Join us in this one-hour course as we explore the constantly evolving concepts of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). These two terms have been around for years but have gained newfound importance due to the pandemic.

Learning Objectives:

Examine Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) and evaluate the health and wellness benefits of designing projects that focus on IAQ & IEQ products, equipment and systems.
Explore building codes, standards and wellness certifications and how a building can meet the criteria to get a health and wellness designation.
Investigate the myriad of applications for IAQ and IEQ associated with HVAC systems that improve the wellbeing of building occupants and healthy building compliance.
Illustrate how HVAC systems can help design professionals achieve healthy building standards that improve IAQ and IEQ by analyzing potential scenarios. In doing so we will highlight key ways HVAC systems contribute to health and wellness criteria.

Natural Slate Rainscreen Cladding Systems

Sponsored By CUPA USA

1.5 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

In this one-hour course, participants will discover the many benefits and applications of natural slate as cladding. Participants will be demonstrated proper detailing and installation as well as various case studies to better inform them on selecting the right manufacturer for their slate cladding specification.

Learning Objectives:

Explain how natural slate is produced, all the way from the quarry to a safe and durable installation
Identify slate quality and detect potential problems that can be properly solved to ensure the safety of both occupants and installers
Discuss how a properly specified ventilated façade system with natural slate can reduce moisture and air intrusion and therefore reduce potential health risks to the occupants
Analyze the efficiency and sustainability factors of slate façade cladding including how they can be used in photovoltaic applications
