Credit: 1 AIA LU Sponsored by: Kawneer We will feature aluminum framing products that can integrate with window wall systems in this month’s webinar, along with installation and fabrication options for different types of applications. Attendees will learn the key characteristics and attributes of curtain walls, window walls and storefront systems, and we will discuss […]
Credit: 1 AIA HSW LU Sponsored by: Oldcastle Building Envelope This course is designed to expand your understanding of basic aluminum glazing systems, specifically storefront, window wall, and curtain wall systems. After completing this course, you will be able to effectively select the appropriate aluminum glazing system for your project to achieve the desired aesthetics […]
Credit: 1 AIA HSW LU Sponsored by: CRL Glass railing systems can enhance the aesthetics, function, and safety of buildings. There are several types available such as base shoe systems, post railings, standoff systems, and windscreens. This course covers important considerations when selecting glass railings including best practices in design, component selection, and installation. It […]
This course will introduce tools available in building information modeling (BIM) software that enable architects to collaborate virtually with the other members of their design team and their clients. Best practices will be explored and interviews with Alex Hughes from KURV Architecture and Joe Vance from Joe Vance Architects will share their first-hand experiences working […]
Credit: 1 AIA LU Sponsored by: CENTRIA Understanding building physics is critical to proper building envelope design. Examined here are practical concepts for the building designer, including how cladding systems perform across different climate zones and applications. Environmental control layers and hygrothermal loads are reviewed, as is the concept of perfect/universal wall design. The course […]
Credit: 1 AIA HSW LU Sponsored by: Cladiator How cladding is attached and supported from the exterior of the wall assembly to the interior structure of the building is no longer just a question of transferring weight. The type of support system used can greatly affect energy performance, air and moisture penetration into the wall […]

Material Selection Criteria, this […]
Credit: 1 AIA LU Sponsored by: Canvas Any remodeling project typically starts with the tedious tasks of capturing field measurements and existing conditions and then modeling the as-built space in your design program of choice. This error-prone process saps you of time and energy better spent reimaging the space. Thomas Reynolds, AIA, uses Canvas and […]
