This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Explore the technology, history, and benefits of single ply roof systems, with a core focus on EPDM, PVC, and TPO.

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.

Time-honored material offers a bold new expression of architectural excellence. Read why slate is an ideal cladding solution for numerous applications. In an industry and design environment where so many materials ask architects, contractors and owners to make difficult sustainability, performance and aesthetic decisions, consider how the simplicity and elegance of a reimagined building material presents a way forward with minimal compromise.

As people spend an increasing amount of time indoors, the need to bring natural light into building interiors becomes even more imperative. Daylighting is an important part of architectural design for many reasons, with occupant well-being and sustainable practices at the top of the list. This course will explore the health and environmental benefits of daylighting, look at polycarbonate fenestration products as a practical and high-performing option, and discuss design considerations and possibilities, including case studies of polycarbonate products used in daylighting projects.

GRACE SELECTâ„¢ smooth surface roofing underlayment is slip resistant, lightweight and easy to install. It is an approved ICC ESR-1677 underlayment to be used as an ice barrier and has a Class A fire rating for fiberglass shingles. This short video explains why it should also be the go to for all your projects.

Polyiso claims the highest R-value in the thinnest profile of any (ci) wall sheathing product, meeting all ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC 2012 standards, outstanding fire performance with its inclusion within a multitude of NFPA 285 compliant wall assemblies - CFCs, HCFCs, and ODP.

Hunter XCI Polyiso is a foam board used as continuous insulation in exterior walls for both commercial and residential construction and the leading product of choice for commercial roofs.

As wildfire risks and extreme weather events continue to grow, homeowners are increasingly turning to stone-coated steel roofing for enhanced resilience and protection. Unified Steel roofing combines the strength of zinc-aluminum coated steel with the aesthetic appeal of traditional roofs, while offering Class A fire-rated system performance when installed with the proper underlayment. Stone-coated steel roofing delivers durability while also supporting energy efficiency as part of a complete cool roof system.

This study examines the transformation of a 1930s home in Massachusetts through an extensive renovation. The project sought to preserve the Colonial character while rebuilding and expanding to meet contemporary expectations. Roofing, weather-barrier, siding, shingle, and trim products helped combine historically appropriate textures and detailing with durable, low-maintenance performance. Digital renderings and walkthroughs supported informed design decisions and kept the renovation aligned with its architectural vision. The completed home blends naturally into the historic streetscape while offering a resilient envelope engineered for New England’s demanding climate. The result demonstrates how thoughtful design, modern materials, and skilled craftsmanship can honor the past while preparing a home for generations of use.
