9:30 - 10:30

Provider: Trus Joist

BLS820 Or Equal? The Real Differences Between I-Joists

Time: 1 Hour

Learning Units: 1.0 Including 1 credit of HSW

Description: This presentation was created to show the specifier the real difference between different I-joists. It’s not all about reading span charts. Span charts can be misleading. There are other tables to review for a good analysis. This presentation shows what tables are available to properly analyze and compare I-joists, and what cautions to consider. 

 

10:45 - 11:45

Provider: LP

LPSS102021 Understanding The Advantages of Todays Treated Engineered Wood Siding

Time: 1 Hour

Learning Units: 1.0 Including 1 credit of HSW

Description: An introduction to treated engineered wood siding and its use in residential, light commercial and multi-family construction projects, with explanations of and comparisons to other cladding options commonly specified for these projects. Course content also includes the key benefits of treated engineered wood siding, such as design potential, workability, durability, sustainability including carbon neutrality and use in fire-rated assemblies. 

Learning Objectives: 

  1. Provide an overview of Residential (R), multi-family (MF) and light commercial (LC) construction types for which treated engineered wood siding (TEWS) is a cladding option and review the major exterior cladding options available for these applications. 

  2. Provide an overview of types of TEWS and discuss how the technology has evolved, how it’s made, why it’s sustainable, and how it can help builders/architects make smarter environmental choices in siding. 

  3. Discuss how to achieve aesthetic, durability and weather- ability requirements using TEWS in residential, MF and LC projects. 

  4. Understand the flexibility with TEWS and custom solutions that can be created, including cladding assemblies rated to meet fire codes. 

 

12:30 - 1:30

Provider: Engage BP

IEN07B Human-centered Design Approach for High Performance Facades

Time: 1 Hour

Learning Units: 1.0 Including 1 credit of HSW

Description: This course focuses on the incorporation of human-centered design approaches for high performance facades. Participants of this course will be provided an overview and examination of the benefits of incorporating human-centered design methods into their facade design for the purpose of facilitating well-being. This course will describe research findings attributed to designing with users in mind and will go into detail on what high performance facades are as well as advanced technology in cladding materials for building enclosures. This course will also describe the impact of climate change on buildings and façade performance.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify human-centered design methods for high-performance facades. 

  2. Learn, through current research, how facades affect human-centered design and the impact architecture has on well-being. 

  3. Discuss thermal behavior of building enclosures, moisture movement through facades, occupant comfort, selection of advanced materials and facade technologies. 

  4. Recognize how these approaches have been used for human-centered facade designs through case studies.
