9:00 AM - High Performance Glazing Systems
9:00 – 10:00 AM
High Performance Glazing Systems
This presentation centers on educating attendees on three types of CurtainWall systems and identifying how a reliable CurtainWall system can help prevent air/water infiltration and insulated glass failures. We will discuss the basic functions and strengths/weaknesses of each system, while highlighting on how the features of one particular system can help avert infiltration and common glass failures such as fogged panels. We will discuss the codes, standards, and certifications that a reliable CurtainWall Designer/Manufacturer should adhere to. We will evaluate the typical culprits of infiltration such as gasket shrinkage, poor sealing, and improper installation.

10:00 - AM Vinyl In Design
10:00 – 11:00 AM
Vinyl in Design
A live, interactive outreach and education program provided by The Vinyl Institute to familiarize architects and designers with the range of solutions vinyl provides for today’s design challenges. Seen by thousands across the US, our objective is to educate them about all aspects of this common and widely accepted material which is used in so many building applications.
The use of plastics in building and construction is on the rise and vinyl is the most commonly used plastic in building and construction. Whether considering raw materials, service life, sustainability or resilience, the science of materials is fascinating, thought provoking and ever changing. And since every project is likely to include at least some vinyl, it is important for architects to learn about and be familiar this essential material.

11:00 AM - Introduction to ICF’s
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Introduction to ICF’s
Learn the product history of industrial strength insulated concrete forms, how they are manufactured and the different types available in order to determine a competitive analysis. See sample project overviews and the building process.
Learn efficiencies for design considerations, what works best and what doesn’t work at all. Be able to explain the benefits to builders, owners and occupants and mitigate costs to install this product impacts the projects LEED Credit Category.
Presented by: Garrett Quick 1 LU/HSW
12:00 PM - Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) First Cost Comparison
12:00 – 1:00 PM
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) First Cost Comparison
Compare and contrast four HVAC systmes against VRF system costs. Using a building scenario as the basis of the comparison, contractor costs for common installation components are compared. In addition, the building costs for each HVAC system type are reviewed annd compared against a VRF baseline.
Presented by: Todd Buck 1 LU/HSW
1:00 PM - Moisture and Concrete Floor Slabs
An in-depth understanding of moisture issues in concrete slabs and the deleterious effect of a high moisture vapor emission rate (MVER) on flooring finishes. The presentation will address “sick building syndrome” caused by excessive concrete moisture vapor emissions; the various industry-approved methods for testing of MVER and for generating accurate data; conditions that generate excessive moisture in slabs and how to resolve them; how MVER barrier technology works, and how and when to specify it; and ICRI’s certification program for moisture-testing technicians – the only certification program in the industry.
Presented by: Sean Leich 1 LU/HSW
2:00 PM - Linear Drain Systems
2:00 – 3:00 PM
Linear Drain Systems: Design, Installation, & Application
Linear Drain Systems in the kitchen & bath industry have become an important element in the overall design of the bathroom, wet room, or outdoor application. While the concept of creating drainage for “Barrier Free Bathrooms” is sometimes a challenge to those designing and building in the field, this course will express the options, benefits, and solutions that linear drain systems provide and also how they apply to ADA codes for accessibility. A fundamental review of the different types of linear drains will be covered, along with a comparison of the traditional waterproofing systems and modern waterproofing technology that are integral in understanding the installations of linear drain systems.
Presented by: Barbara Kratus 1 LU/HSW
3:00 PM - Composite Decking and Sustainable Design
