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 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.
On-Demand In this presentation we will examine the various paths to code compliance while still applying building science principles to limit condensation risk. Detailed roof system examples will be provided, demonstrating how these measures can enable durable AND code compliant roofing assemblies.
On-Demand This course will cover lath, flashing and cement plaster (stucco) with a focus on successful designs as well as failures from field investigations
