On-Demand:During the session, you will learn how to interpret crucial financial statements, harness technology for efficient financial management, and master the art of budgeting and forecasting.
On-Demand This webinar explores how integrating technologies into our daily routines, guided by Clear's four laws of behavior change (make it obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying), can transform our work processes and AE firm’s culture. By adopting a mindset shift towards seeing ourselves not just as design professionals, but as innovators, we align technology with our identity, ensuring its seamless adoption.
On-Demand Layers of requirements from the new energy code updates to sustainability standards to sound building science can all come together to help achieve this goal. This presentation will guide attendees through specific examples of how to design robust details to do just that.
On-Demand This presentation will provide an outline on the practice of BECx and its benefits with real world case studies. It will begin by walking through the fundamental building science principles pertaining to heat and moisture movement through building enclosure assemblies, as well as describe the function and order of importance of the primary environmental control layers (water, air, vapor and thermal).
On-Demand During this presentation, you will learn how the roof assembly can help meet various sustainability goals. Case studies and specific examples will highlight ways to incorporate circularity, solar reflectivity, durability, energy efficiency and overburden roof assemblies into your design.
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 This course explores the critical nature of the air barrier with an emphasis on how a structure interacts with the environment around it. Gain knowledge on the trends in the marketplace, advancements in technology, and the importance of specifying the correct air and water resistive barrier for your project.
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.
