Something’s Happening
Yes, we know it’s been a while and for the longest time we haven’t done anything as a chapter.
Finally we’ve decided to reach out to the membership in an attempt to move forward with our commitment to provide educational opportunities. It is our hope you will take advantage of these opportunities and participate.
Online Seminar: Sealants and Fluid-Applied Waterproofing
When: Thursday, August 13, 2020
Time: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Location: Online Educational Event
Cost: $30.00
CEH: 3 hours
We have reached out to two of the areas experts in the building envelope industry for some very specialized training and open question and answer time. I am absolutely sure these course will be time well spent.
The seminar is composed of two different presentations.
The first presentation is presented by Brett Burch, Technical Sales representative with Dow Corning Corporation. This course explains the differences between silicone and organic sealant chemistries, the functions of nonstructural and structural glazing sealants, how to select appropriate sealing systems for new construction and renovation applications, and the appropriate designs for structural versus weathersealing sealant joints. Course will include sealant chemistry, sealant roles and properties, applications, and the differences between silicone and organic sealants. The course time will include an interactive question and answer period where participants can fire questions of to the experts.
The second presentation is presented by Marcy Tyler, Director of Building Science for Tremco. This course explains the importance of air barriers in construction. There will be a deep dive into the increasing requirements of air, water, vapor, and thermal controls to improve a buildings performance. With a focus on fluid-applied air barrier membranes, there will be a discussion on how technologies and installation are challenged and effect on performance. Commercial Construction today is all about reducing waste. Whether its time or energy, commercial construction has been designed around efficiency. Pre-fabrication of the air barrier membrane can decrease the time needed during construction without compromising performance. This presentation will go through the benefits involved in the prefabrication, things to look out for when evaluating and selecting these systems, and give insights on connectivity choices when it all comes together on the jobsite.
