The IIBEC Gulf Coast Chapter is pleased to announce our first meeting of 2022. The meeting will include two presentations. Additionally, an outlook of the chapter business going into Q1 of 2022 will be discussed.
Russ Raymond, RBEC (Seal Building Enclosure), will present on Architectural Sheet Metal: Lessons Learned from a 3rd Generation Tradesman.
While many in the industry proclaim elevated levels of sheet metal expertise, it is apparent during design peer review of sheet metal assemblies and numerous sheet metal installations the skills needed for proper sheet metal design and installation are lacking. The purpose of this presentation is to share his experience and pass on both time-tested design nuances and installation techniques that will enlighten the intermediate and advanced consultant. The four learning objectives of this presentation are: 1) understand flashing engagement, dimensions, and joinery, 2) summarize underutilized fabrication techniques needed to accomplish modern problems, 3) learn to select and properly utilize various metals based on building typology and expected service life, and 4) examine details utilizing proper metal profiles and assemblies.
Peter Gross (Siplast) will present on Creating Reusable Insulation Systems for Roofing & Waterproofing Applications.
This presentation focuses an in-depth look at the composition of aggregate and cellular lightweight insulating concrete systems. Attendees will be presented with the unique performance and application characteristics and considerations in high wind uplift, plaza deck, and metal deck design applications. Specifically, the presentation will focus on how to 1) Identify how aggregate and cellular lightweight insulating concrete systems derive their lightweight properties, 2) Learn about aggregate sourcing and how it can potentially contribute to achieving LEED goals, 3) Learn about benefits and limitations of both aggregate and cellular lightweight insulating concrete systems, and 4) Understand how design application impacts LWIC system selection. To supplement the topics presented, a brief update on the status of the insulation market will be discussed.
Participants will receive two IIBEC-CEU for attending.
