Presenter: Richard Petty
• Learn about the cost effectiveness and proven reliability of cladding.
• Become aware of the performance advantages of copper-clad stainless relative to traditional copper.
• Understand the design differences between solid and copper-clad stainless
• Review basic fabrication methods.

10:20-11:20 AM
Glazing with Acrylic Foam Structural Tape
1 AIA/CES LU/HSW Hour
Provider: 3M | Course: IMM08A
Presenter: Erik Katchur
• Compare the different types of structural glazing and architectural panel application options
• Describe the methods and standards by which acrylic foam tape for structural glazing is measured and why this is important to a project
• Explain the advantages of using acrylic foam tape in terms of project installation, time and costs, architectural appearance, and structural performance
• Discuss the proper installation process as well as design considerations when using acrylic form tapes for structural glazing and architectural panel applications.

11:30-12:30 PM
Understanding Recycled Content Surfacing Material
1 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD Hour (AIA Course Number: ICS06A);
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals (GBCI Course ID: 0090003989);
Provider: InfoSpec, Inc.
Sponsor: Cosentino
Presenter: Glen Kross
• This one hour live course describes the importance of recycled content surfacing products and how they affect a building's indoor environmental quality.
• We will review how these materials are manufactured and specified and we will evaluate how they may contribute towards LEED project certification.
• After a comparison on traditional and recycled surfacing materials, we will discuss the importance of going beyond "green".

12:30-1:30 Lunch  Lunch Presentation by Dynamic Closures:  Greg Trimboli

1:40-2:40 PM
Exterior Continuous Insulated Claddings for Energy Efficiency and Architectural Diversity
1 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD Hour
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals (GBCI Course ID: 0090005704)
Provider: Dryvit System, Inc. | Course: BL0002
Presenter: Mike Leroy
• Deconstruct the "perceived" value of traditional insulation methods and reduced performance within framed wall assemblies and reconstruct new strategies for developing true "effective" insulation value and high performance.
• Identify and define model energy code and green design standard's requirements for exterior continuous insulation.
• Differentiate between "prescriptive"  R-value "performance"  U-factor wall design paths and recognize where continuous insulation must be integrated.
• Discover the interrelationship between exterior insulated cladding and the use of continuous insulation to achieve energy efficient, cost effective and aesthetically pleasing design solutions.

2:50 – 3:50 PM
Sustainable Materials in Restrooms, Locker Rooms and Other Applications
1 AIA/CES LU/HSW/SD Hour
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals
AIA Course Number: ISP10B - USGBC Course ID: 0090007573
Provider: InfoSpec, Inc.
Sponsor: Scranton Products
Presenter: Jim Rogers
• Define and describe the material characteristics of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
• Describe how HDPE recycled content reduces environmental impact.
• List several ways HDPE materials offer both initial and long term improvements to the indoor air quality of any project.
• Explain how responsible manufacturing is a critical part of any product’s life cycle assessment and give several examples of these environmental improvements over traditional manufacturing processes.
