1 LU HSW - Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation in Commercial Buildings - Identify the characteristics of open cell spray foam that make it suitable for high-performance roof/ attic assemblies and exterior wall assemblies. Investigate the inherent energy performance and cost-saving foam when insulation and air barrier are provided in one. Recognize the ability of open cell spray foam insulation to manage into construction assemblies and add to building durability and assess the various ways that open cell insulation contributes to environmentally responsible and green buildings.

1 LU HSW/SD – Acoustic Doors & Green Design - Describes the role of acoustics in occupant comfort. Reviews the requirements for both LEED® for Schools™ Credit 9 and Pilot Credit 24. The term “acoustic assembly” and its importance in specifying acoustic doors are discussed with an in depth review of the key components of an acoustic door and frame assembly. Outlines the features of ADA compliant acoustic door and frame assemblies that meet ASTM A117.1 requirements. AMBICO Limited – Jack Shinder

1 LU HSW & 1 GBCI - Wind and Microclimate Issues for the Built Environment - Many of the decisions made early in design can influence performance and satisfaction. The seminar will discuss the role of microclimate influences (i.e. wind, sun air quality, noise vibration, etc.) on master plans and building concept development. The presentation will identify new technologies and discuss the best way to incorporate engineering studies into the design decision process in a timely fashion. Early input supports successful integration of design concepts when changes are readily made at lower cost, in lieu of band-aid solutions forced to merge with a final design.

1 LU HSW - Exterior Air Barrier Systems - High Performance Building - Part 1 Air barrier systems are becoming a more important concern for modern, high performance commercial buildings. This presentation will help you understand changing codes and standards, why air tightness is important for commercial buildings, and how to detail exterior air barrier systems. Because air tightness is a “whole building” characteristic that depends on the work of multiple trades, we will also look at commissioning and inspection during construction. You will come away with a stronger understanding of how air barrier systems work and how to solve common problems in design and construction. Cosella Dorken – Anthony Camp

1:45 - 2:45
|
1 HSW/SD – 1 GBCI - Water Reuse Management Solutions and Practices for Commercial and Residential Buildings - The Decentralized Solution - This seminar will educate the attendee on how water reuse is accounted for under LEED Certification. Furthermore, during this seminar you will learn what gray water sources are the most appropriate for reuse, best practices for design, how the systems are sized for various building types and many other benefits relating to managing water more efficiently within commercial and residential buildings.

1 LU/HSW - 1 GBCI – Introduction to Cost-Effective Energy Savings with Drain Water Heat Recovery Systems - With over 100,000 units saving every daily, proven Drain Water Heat Recovery technologies have been designed into residential and commercial buildings in many countries. This course shall provide you with a thorough understanding of how Drain Water Heat Recovery systems work and give an overview of their inclusion in single-family residential, multi-family residential and commercial buildings, including hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and prisons. Upon completion of this course one will have an intuitive sense about where and when to consider Drain Water Heat Recovery technologies and the value that these technologies can offer in energy savings, potential LEED® and HERS point contributions, and towards achieving building energy code targets.
