Course Description:
As the market continues to transform the way sustainable buildings are designed, metal roof and siding products continue to contribute to a healthier built environment.  This course breaks down the material inputs and green performance attributes of metal roof and siding products and identifies how metal panels can contribute to LEED v4.1 and Living Building Challenge, making it easier for architects to design green and specify with metal.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn the material inputs and green performance attributes of metal roof and siding products
2. Understand how metal roof and siding products can contribute to LEED v4.1 BD+C
3. Understand how the various material transparency documents are valued under LEED v4.1
4. Understand how metal roof and siding products can contribute to Living Building Challenge

AIA CES Learning Units:
No AIA CES Learning Units at this time; however Certificates of Completion may be requested.

Course Description:
Designing to accommodate thermal movement is just one of the many critical details for the long-term success of a metal roof installation. Students will learn design and specification considerations as well as architectural details that impact project requirements. In addition, we’ll cover the components and the energy efficient features of metal roofing assemblies. Curriculum presented is AIA approved and contributes toward CES Learning Units.

Course Objectives:

• List the advantages and disadvantages of architectural roofing versus industrial roofing.
• State the specification considerations related to a metal roof installation.
• Discuss the environmental impact of metal roofs versus alternative roofing materials.
• List the design and installation issues that help facilitate a successful metal roof solution.
