This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Zero-energy school construction is a growing trend across the country. A combination of advanced energy-efficiency strategies, affordable solar power, combined with innovative concrete exterior wall assemblies is making it possible. Systems like insulating concrete forms and tilt-up construction combine strength and durability of reinforced concrete with the energy efficiency of continuous rigid insulation.

This presentation describes zero-energy strategies along with details on how to take advantage of the high R-value, thermal mass, with lower air infiltration concrete envelopes can provide, to offer school districts both lower first costs and long-term operating savings. Project examples are shared to demonstrate the proven performance benefits now being realized nationwide.

This On Demand CEU is a recorded presentation from a previously live webinar event. Concrete masonry is commonly used for structural and architectural walls in buildings. Knowing the full extent of its applications and capabilities is import for designers to make resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective buildings.

The intent of this course is to provide a general overview of the properties and performance characteristics of concrete masonry walls. Attendees will learn about how to take advantage of and maximize the features and capabilities of concrete masonry units.

Today, the on-site, DIY approach to wood concrete forming fabrication is rapidly giving way to the precision, convenience, and speed of ready-made, turnkey systems.
Read the following 10 reasons why contractors for structural forming, road and bridge, and water treatment projects nationwide are teaming up with UFP for their forming needs.

A groundbreaking national survey sheds new light on how precasters can take advantage of exciting new advances in demold cycle times, weight reduction, LEED-friendly compositions, and other fabrication factors to scale-up sales and profits."

A groundbreaking national survey offers powerful new insights into the ongoing tinting issue.

Labor and housing shortages abound. 3D construction printing revolutionizes the industry by expediting construction processes. Build faster - increase productivity and efficiencies with automation; reduce the need for as many skilled trade workers on-site; and improve sustainability.
