Structural Silicone Glazing: 50 years of performance explain
The course reviews original and modern project applications of structural silicone glazing, the history of structural silicone glazing, basic engineering of systems for attaching the edge of glass, performance aspects of silicone structural glazing, and current state-of-the-art systems.
Air Barrier Systems
The course defines types of air barriers and describes the different solutions currently on the market for sealing penetrations and transitions to create a complete air barrier system. It provides an overview of the basic requirements air barriers must meet and identifies key areas within a wall system.
Silicone Sealants in Construction
The course explains the differences between silicone and organic sealant chemistries, the functions of nonstructural and structural glazing sealants, how to select appropriate sealing systems and renovation applications, and the appropriate designs.
Silicone Sealants and Coatings: For building construction
The course examines the differences between silicone and organic sealant chemistries, key sealant properties, how and why sealants fail, appropriate sealant systems and installation techniques, and the primary benefits of silicone sealants and coatings for building restoration.
Silicone Sealants for Structural and Protective Glazing
The course defines and explains the purpose of silicone structural and protective glazing; how protective glazing systems work; appropriate materials, methods and quality-assurance tests for structural and protective glazing; and the impact of natural hazards and terrorist activities on glazing systems.
Thermal and Energy Modeling
The course studies the energy efficiency of commercial curtainwall systems in hot and cold climates and compares a range of curtainwall systems, including various glass and IG spacer components. It reviews whole-building energy consumption, including carbon dioxide emissions, and compares frame temperatures.
