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.
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.
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.
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 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.
