How to Avoid Common Green Roof Failures

Vegetative roofs are often a centerpiece or welcome addition to a building. However, designs that are unable to drain or function effectively can lead to costly repairs, complete replacements, and even early building component degradation. This course reviews typical green roof systems, how to avoid green roof failures, and common repair and replacement procedures when required. Learn more

Advanced waterproofing solutions with a PUMA System

This presentation will describe overcoming waterproofing challenges by utilizing a liquid-applied PUMA system. PUMA is a cold fluid-applied waterproofing system with quick-curing technology providing long-term stability, permanent UV exposure resistance to impact, scratches, punctures and slip resistance. PUMA technical advances allow for waterproofing certainty where sheet-applied membranes are difficult to install due to complex design and construction requirements. Through this step-by-step presentation, you will understand how PUMA may solve common installation obstacles and how to properly specify/install a PUMA system to suit project specific needs. Learn more

How Instant-Setting Cold Fluid Applied Waterproofing Systems Solve Problems

This course will teach about Cold Fluid Applied Waterproofing systems, which use an instant setting membrane. By instructing about their technical advances, how to install these systems, and the advantages of full technical support, you will understand their practical and technical benefits over conventional waterproofing options. You will learn how to utilize these types of waterproofing systems, to solve PMR, Plaza Deck, IRMA and Green Roof performance challenges. Learn more

Air barrier assemblies: technology, installation and code compliance

Advancements in air barrier technology and higher accountability for indoor air quality, energy efficiency and fire protection lead to increasingly complex design and construction requirements.

Learn more

Constructing Exterior Walls to Avoid Moisture Intrusion

Building code changes, mold and mildew, and the drive for energy efficient buildings has increased demand for an effective weather resistive air barrier; and vapor barrier where appropriate. Through a detailed discussion, this presentation will help you understand how to select an effective air barrier to manage air, water, vapor, and energy throughout the building envelope.Learn more

Constructing Walls and Decks to Avoid Water Penetration

Is your building designed to combat a lifetime of physical challenges such as expansion and contraction, shifting foundations, building settling, hydrostatic pressure, and waterproofing longevity? Understanding how to properly design and specify a waterproofing assembly to meet project specific need is the first step in constructing a watertight building envelope. Through a detailed discussion, this presentation will help you understand how to select an effective waterproofing assembly to avoid water penetration and avoid costly repairs.Learn more

Cool Roof Coatings

Henry^® Company has completed over 100 million square feet of roof coatings throughout North America. This course will explain the advantages for installing a roof coating, including extending the life of an existing roofing assembly and decreasing building energy consumptions costs. Through a detailed discussion, you will understand how to select an appropriate roof coating to meet a building’s needs and industry recognized installation practices for various cool roof coating technologies.Learn more

Does My Wall Have to Comply with NFPA 285?

Adoption of 2012 International Building Code (IBC) and 2012 International Energy Code Council (IECC) may directly affect the prerequisite that exterior wall assemblies in multistory buildings are obligated to pass NFPA 285. Projected continuous insulation (CI) requirements have dramatically increased the demand for NFPA 285 compliant wall assemblies making ‘typical’ wall assemblies obsolete. Design and construction professionals may be code mandated to adapt their current master specifications, details, and construction practices upon new code adoption. Learn more

Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing and Silicone Coatings for Commercial Buildings

This course will highlight advantages of a spray polyurethane foam (SPF) and silicone roof coating to maximize thermal resistance through fully-adhered continuous insulation and cool roof properties; optimizing sustainability and cost savings during the life of the roofing assembly. Through a detailed discussion, you will learn industry recognized installation practices for the most advanced roofing technology in roofing maintenance and identify how an SPF and silicone assembly can meet a building’s long-term performance needs.
