Recycled Content Surfacing Materials: Identifying Value Under LEED and Beyond
1 AIA HSW CE Hour | AIA Course Number: ICS06C
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals | GBCI course ID: 0090009501
AIA Provider: Infospec, Inc.
Sponsor: Cosentino
Presenter: 
This one hour live course describes the importance of recycled content surfaces and their
environmental significance including reducing the use of natural resources and improving indoor
air quality. We will compare and contrast traditional and recycled surfacing materials and explain
the importance of “going beyond green.”

10:20 -11:20 AM 
Exterior Continuous Insulated Claddings for Energy Efficiency and Architectural Diversity
1 AIA HSW CE Hour | AIA Course Number: BL0002
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals | GBCI Course ID: 0090005704
Provider: Dryvit System, Inc.
Presenter: Bob Dazel, AIA, LEED GA
1. 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.
2. Identify and define model energy code and green design standard's requirements for exterior
    continuous insulation.
3. Differentiate between "prescriptive"  R-value "performance"  U-factor wall design paths and
    recognize where continuous insulation must be integrated.
4. Discover the interrelationship between exterior insulated cladding and the use of continuous
    insulation to achieve energy efficient, cost effective and aesthetically pleasing design solutions.

11:30 - 12:30 PM

Polyiso-The High Performance choice for Continuous Insulation in Commercial Wall Assemblies
1 AIA HSW CE Hour | AIA Course Number: HP104
AIA Provider: Hunter Panels
Presenter: Andy Myers
1. Understand the advancement of National Model Energy Codes as they relate to the energy
    efficiency of the building envelop.
2. Define and understand "continuous insulation" and how its use effects energy code compliance,
    current ASHRAE Standards, LEED the Energy Star program and the International Energy
    Conservation Code.
3. Understand the environmental features and benefits of Polyisocyanurate insulation including thermal
    performance, long service life, recycled content, negligible GWP and zero ODP.
4. Understand the NFPA 285 fire test and its role in code compliant wall assemblies.

02:40 - 03:40 PM     
PVC Roofing Materials, Performance, Construction, Functionality – One of a Kind?
1 AIA HSW Hour  | AIA Course Number: SDR116
AIA Provider: Carlisle Construction Material
Presenter:  John Greko
PVC is one of the most diverse products in the building industry and one of the most misunderstood.
This presentation will help to better understand why PVC is one of the most versatile and modifiable thermoplastics.
With all the different formulations, types, reinforcements and construction, knowledge of this product type will assist the specifier in creating better specifications.

03:50 - 04:50 PM
EPDM Defining the Standard for 50 years
1 AIA HSW CE Hour  | AIA Course Number:  SDR 113
AIA Provider: Carlisle Construction Materials
Presenter: Dave Millard
Participants will learn the features and benefits of EPDM roofing solutions that have been proven
to perform as well as advancements in technology that contribute to higher quality installations
and long term service life.

05:00 - 06:00 PM      TBD
