Installation Best Practices
| This course provides information about window installation from the perspective of the architect and design professional. Rather than a “how-to” installation training course, information is presented in a format that begins with specifications and detail drawings and ends with job site observation. The slides follow through the stages in the order that a typical project would progress; highlighting key areas where the architect and design professional can take more of a lead role in the successful design and installation of this critical element in the building envelope.
When you complete this course you will be able to:
• Specify window installation methods and materials that are best suited for each project’s exterior wall design.
• Design details that will allow the installed windows to perform as intended, and as required for the project.
• Provide valuable guidance to the project team throughout the installation process.
• Identify job site best practices that will minimize impact on schedule, budget and product performance.

Third party certification of window performance, materials and environmental quality characteristics to support sustainable design is outlined.
When you complete this course you will have a better understanding of:
• The differences in energy use patterns in commercial and residential buildings.
• The importance of computer modeling to evaluate alternatives and integrate windows in the design process to improve building performance.
• The role windows can play in supporting design strategies in key categories of energy, materials and indoor environmental quality common in sustainable design rating guidelines.

Program No. P201 Commercial Wood Window Installation Systems
| Program Description: Water leakage through the building envelope continues to be one of the major reasons for litigation involving architects. In this seminar we discuss how architects can limit water infiltration at windows through proper design of the window installation system.
First, we look at the theory behind the proper design of window installation systems. Then we explore the advantages and disadvantages of different installation techniques. Finally, we discuss how architects can make sure that the specified performance is met. Special emphasis is given to the three major opening types in new construction: Punched Openings, Ribbon/Strip Windows, and Curtain Walls.

Program No. P501: Glazing Systems: Balancing Aesthetics, Performance, and Cost
| Program Description: Both sealed insulating glass and dual glazed systems are being used extensively in today’s commercial and institutional buildings, especially in education, health care, and offices. Selection of the glazing system has a major impact on building energy costs and the life expectancy of the glazing system.
Using a variety of glass samples and project case studies from across the United States, we will discuss how the architect’s selection of the glazing system impacts aesthetics, thermal performance, and cost. We will discuss the effects of double-glazing, triple glazing, warm edge technologies, low-E coatings, tints, reflective coatings, and between-glass blinds.

Program No. P601: Window Performance Requirements for Commercial Buildings
| Program Description: Designing for wind and water are two of the major criteria that architects consider in the design of all buildings and their fenestration systems. In this seminar we discuss how new industry standards and building codes impact the design of fenestration systems.
Based on the International Building Code we review code requirements for wind design. Then we use the latest window industry standard to examine what kind of water performance is needed. Finally, we discuss how to specify wind and water performance using the AIA Masterspec as the basis for our discussion.

Program No. P701: Hurricane Protection for Windows and Doors
| Program Description: Since Hurricane Andrew hit Dade County, Florida in August of 1992, building codes in south Florida have required that windows resist damage from wind and wind-borne debris. Recent codes and standards development will greatly expand wind-borne debris requirements in hurricane-prone areas outside of south Florida, extending from Texas to Maryland.
In this program architects will learn the what, why, where, and how about hurricane protection for windows. What do building owners want? Why is protection needed? Where is it needed? What do the building codes require? How can architects design for hurricane protection? What product options and installation systems are available? What should the specifications say? These questions and more will be covered during this seminar.

| Program Description: With the increasing interest of architects, building owners, and general contractors in sustainable design, green building materials, and LEED certification; this program is designed to provide an overview of the United States Green Building Council, the LEED Green Building Rating System, and the contributions windows can make to LEED certification.
In addition, we explore how the architect’s specification of aluminum, wood, and vinyl window frames affects the environment around us. We’ll discuss sources for raw materials, renewable resources, recycled content, energy consumption and pollution during material extraction and window production, annual energy consumption after building occupancy, and what happens to the window after its useful life is over.

Program No. P1306: Fiberglass Fenestration in Commercial Buildings
| Program Description: Whether designing commercial or institutional building types, architects carefully consider the qualities and long-term advantages of fenestration materials. Windows and doors provide essential protection and architectural character to a building, and must also respond to owner-driven requirements like aesthetics, cost, performance, maintenance, and life cycle.
Fiberglass composite is suitable for windows and doors in any climate or building type. More durable than aluminum or vinyl, with the thermal efficiency of wood, fiberglass composite windows are an economically competitive alternative to aluminum and vinyl windows. The multiple advantages and benefits of fiberglass composite make it a versatile fenestration choice because of its strength, durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and sustainable qualities, as well as its resistance to corrosion, dents, and scratches.

SPIN1: Choices of Air Barriers for Building Enclosures
|
This seminar describes the role of air barriers in building envelope airtightness and the main types of air barrier systems. An air barrier system consists of a primary membrane plus installation and continuity accessories. We will discuss the three main types of air barriers: mechanically fastened membranes or building wraps, fluid applied membranes, and self-adhered membranes. A brief description of each type of air barrier system will include (1) Examples of Products and Manufacturers, (2) Typical Properties, (3) Installation Technology, (4) System Components, (5) Typical Applications, and (6) Advantages and Limitations. |
