This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. The use of metal roofing and wall cladding can help lower operating carbon emissions and make a building more energy efficient, which will positively affect the health, safety, and welfare of a building’s occupants.

There are many ways to achieve this, including the use of cool roof paint technology and above sheathing ventilation for metal roofing, metal roofing panels as a solar ready platform for photovoltaic systems, and solar air heating metal wall cladding.

This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Metal coating failures can have catastrophic consequences. This course identifies causes of corrosion with ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates. In addition, the course will examine premature metal coating failures and how to prevent these failures.

By understanding the proper surface preparation of metal the course will help specifiers understand the proper application methods that extend protective performance of the surface. Finally, the course will review SSPC/NACE standards, definition and implementation to enhance performance of metal coating applications.

Building materials face deterioration from a variety of threats, the most serious and persistent being water and moisture. When installing masonry (e.g., manufactured stone veneer) or metal building systems, there are many common installation mistakes that can lead to failure, including neglecting to follow moisture management best practices to prevent water intrusion. This course will examine the importance of moisture management in the building envelope and common mistakes to avoid when specifying and installing wall assemblies. We will take a holistic view of water management and how it can impact the building envelope, whether that is manufactured stone veneer, metal, or another material.

The complex demands of today’s design-build projects are evolving — and so are the materials behind them. Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) Metal-Clad Cable offers an innovative alternative to solid copper wire — giving building design teams a smarter way to specify responsibly. CCA’s cost stability helps mitigate commodity volatility; its energy efficiency supports LEED building initiatives; and its low scrap value helps reduce theft-related disruptions on the jobsite.

Hear from Dustin Smith, Chief Commercial Officer at Copperweld, as he shares how CCA Metal-Clad Cable is being used in commercial projects across the country — and from Ryan McHugh, CEO of Hi Power Electric, who uses Copperweld CCA Building Wire on every project — including his own home and company headquarters. You’ll get insights from both the manufacturer and a leading electrical contractor — and walk away with practical knowledge about CCA you can apply to future specs.
