This session will build upon basic cover board education and teach you how to identify and articulate the most common risk factors (adverse conditions) for commercial roof damage. Further, you'll learn how to identify regional idiosyncrasies with these risk factors and understand the agencies, codes and corresponding test methods that address them.
Mark S. Graham, NRCA's vice president, technical services, will provide a basic overview of proper wind design of roof systems and discuss ASCE 7-22's new tornado wind load provisions, which apply over a large region of the U.S. An example will be provided showing how tornado loads can exceed conventional wind loads.
This presentation will uncover the differences between air barriers and vapor retarders and the benefits of each to improving the durability and efficiency of your building enclosure. Additionally, it will discuss critical installation details as it relates to the roof and roof/wall interface.
This course is designed to eliminate much of the confusion associated with perimeter fire containment systems. An understanding of the role and value of tested perimeter fire barrier systems in today’s ever-changing and complex designs cannot be overstated.
On-Demand This presentation will discuss the opportunity, challenges and limitation present when considering acceptance of test data extended to support substitution or modification to an assembly.
On-Demand:This webinar will discuss the many components that make up a liquid applied roof, how they fit into the building code, and what types of projects can really benefit from these types of systems.
On-Demand This 1-hour webinar provides practical, scalable strategies to create a leadership pipeline tailored to firms of all sizes. Building on the principles of succession planning, this session demonstrates how leadership development drives innovation, strengthens business resilience, and secures your firm’s future.
On-Demand This one-hour course will cover Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) testing methods used for quality assurance of roofing and waterproofing membranes. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM Standard Guide D7877 and ASTM Standard Practice D8231 and will be able to identify which assemblies are compatible with electronic testing and active monitoring.
On-Demand There will be a discussion on the application methods for modified bitumen membranes as well as the options to finish and cap a modified roof assembly. The course will finish with case studies where modified bitumen roof assemblies were chosen to protect the building and occupants.
On-Demand This webinar will provide an introductory-level overview of how building design teams can optimize their enclosures for high-performance outcomes. The session will articulate the importance of setting clear, measurable performance objectives at pre-design.
