On-Demand In this presentation, we will cover exactly what can be expected of PVC roof membranes and the differences among PVC, PVC-KEE and TPO. This will lead to an in-depth discussion of which projects benefit most from the unique properties of PVC and PVC-KEE membranes, including specific case studies.

On-Demand This program will provide an overview of the roofing-related changes contained in the International Building Code, 2024 Edition. The newest edition to the building code incorporates notable changes in design wind load, occupiable rooftop, rooftop-mounted PV and reroofing provisions. Designers need to be aware of these changes and account for them in their designs.

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).
