K00109 BIPV Building Integrated Photovoltaics
This training program is developed to provide a better understanding of the principles of BIPV and the products available to make such integration possible. Applications for electricity generating building materials are discussed. Stand-alone and Grid-Connected Photovoltaic applications will be explored.
1 Hour/ 1 LU (HSW)

K02112 Hurricane Wind Loading and Impact Resistance
This program is developed to provide a better understanding of the requirements for wind-borne debris protection. As coastal populations and development increase, the threat of injuries, deaths and damage to property during hurricanes and violent storms has intensified. A major cause of property damage and injury is the penetration of the building envelope by wind-borne debris. This program explores the standards to which protection products must be designed and tested.
1 Hour/ 1 LU (HSW)

K_ILFF_12_114 Preventable Curtain Wall Failures
Curtain wall systems are designed to protect the interior of a commercial building from the often harsh exterior environment. A curtain wall failure can be easy to resolve or lead to a lengthy and expensive remediation process. In many cases, curtain wall failures are caused by fairly simple errors that occur during the fabrication and installation process. These are errors that could easily be prevented by a wider awareness of how curtain walls perform and how to install them so they can perform as intended. All stakeholders in a commercial curtain wall project should have a high level understanding of the few errors that cause the majority of in-field failures. This presentation will highlight these errors so that all stakeholders will have a better understanding of what they should be looking for to ensure a safe and successful curtain wall application.
