Differentiated Performance and Long-Life Architectural Coatings

Differentiated Performance and Long-Life Architectural Coatings

Sponsored By Arkema, Inc.
Presented By Ron Partridge
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

Building owners have come to rely on weatherable coatings to provide long-term protection to their buildings. With an increased focus on sustainability, performance, and durability, PVDF resin-based coatings can help architects and painting contractors exceed their clients’ design goals.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Describe the ways PVDF resin-based coatings, both water based and solvent based, provide a consistent, pristine appearance while achieving durability goals over a variety of substrates as demonstrated in applicable case studies
  2. Discuss why some coatings fail and the important considerations when selecting a coating system for an application, including weathering performance, longevity, and application method
  3. Discuss the standards of performance for architectural coatings and recognize why PVDF coating technology outperforms other coating technologies
  4. Explain how water-based PVDF coatings, by their chemistry and performance, can help design professionals and building owners achieve their sustainability goals.

When the Walls Close In

When the Walls Close In

Sponsored By Noble Company
Presented By James Medina
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

It is undeniable that the options for wet area wall surfaces are growing, literally. Whether choosing large-unit porcelain tile, one-piece ceramic wall surfaces, or other solid surfaces in shower applications, the fact remains, the fundamentals of wet-area waterproofing must still be followed.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Examine the history of large-format finished surfaces in wet areas/showers.
  2. Review the nature of vapor migration in wet areas and the role waterproofing membranes play in vapor containment, as well as best practices.
  3. Highlight misinformation, misperceptions, and ineffective installation practices which are fueling the increase in shortened life cycles of shower enclosures.
  4. Project Planning & Design
  5. Building Systems, Materials, & Assemblies

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Floor Panels for Multifamily Buildings

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Floor Panels for Multifamily Buildings

Sponsored By Huber Engineered Woods
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

This course looks more closely at designing and constructing with MgO panels. We begin with a description of the material and its properties and its code compliance characteristics related to fire resistance. The sound attenuation capabilities are also reviewed.

Learning Objectives:
  1. 1. Identify the physical characteristics of magnesium oxide (MgO) panels in terms of their make-up and basic performance attributes for use in floor assemblies in multifamily projects.
  2. Investigate the fire-resistance capabilities and testing standards that demonstrate the ability for MgO panels to provide fire safety in buildings.
  3. Assess the acoustical capabilities of MgO panels in terms of meeting or exceeding code requirements for multifamily buildings on certain tested assemblies in dwelling separations.
  4. Compare and contrast the use of MgO structural panels with other floor underlayment options, particularly gypsum underlayment, in order to specify MgO panels appropriately in multifamily floor assemblies.

How the 2020 (7th Ed) FL Building Code and ASTM Standards Make Stucco Work in Florida

How the 2020 (7th Ed) FL Building Code and ASTM Standards Make Stucco Work in Florida

Sponsored By SIKA Corportation
Presented By Harry Lubitz
2 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
2 FABC CE Hour

This course takes a deep dive into the specific IBC/IRC and Florida Building Code regarding proper design and application of Exterior Stucco. It first reviews and explains the ASTM C926 and C1063 standards that are the basis of the stucco and lath application standards in the code.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Articulate the specific IBC/IRC and Florida Building Code references and details regarding proper design and application of Exterior Portland Cement-Based Stucco.
