This Sustainable Design and Health, Safety and Welfare presentation discusses Green Building - Sustainable Design benefits including life-cycle costs. Changes in LEED 3.0 and how building with concrete masonry contributes to Green Building and Sustainable Design are also addressed. Attendees will learn how concrete masonry can contribute to specific LEED 2009 credits and the health, safety and indoor comfort of the occupants.
The Concrete Benefits of Glazed Masonry
- Program #: TREN-1
- AIA/CES Learning units: 1
AIA approved course. This course for 1.0 HSW/LU hours.
Glazed concrete masonry units (CMU) are a safe, clean alternative to structural glazed facing tile (SGFT) and ceramic tile. This HSW program addresses sustainable design as well as the LEED® points that may be achieved using glazed CMU. Architects will understand why concrete masonry units have a high impact on their safety objectives. In addition, this program enables architects to effectively understand why glazed CMU is “the healthy choice” in terms of how it impacts both building inhabitants and the environment. This presentation meets the AIA requirements for a one-hour Health, Safety and Welfare credit.
Designing
with Innovative Architectural Blocks for Buildings
- Program #: OSKA-01
- AIA/CES Learning units: 1
AIA approved course. This course for 1.0 LU hours.
Concrete blocks are not just for foundations
and basements. Architectural masonry units are animating
the facades of
schools, supporting columns of healthcare
facilities and gracing the arches of shopping malls. This program will cover
the vast range of masonry units available and their potential uses. Designing
and building masonry structures to look good for the life of the building requires
a fundamental understanding of the enemies of masonry and proper detailing
to protect your walls. This discussion on critical detailing
and project management
will ensure lasting beauty of masonry units.
Concrete Masonry Walls for Mold and Moisture
Prevention (HSW)
- Program #: TREN-02
- AIA/CES Learning units: 1
AIA approved course. This course for 1.0 HSW/LU hours.
This one hour HSW presentation will
(1) explore the causes of moisture and mold problems; (2)
show how materials,
construction practices and design details
can
relate to mold growth; (3) determine the public health and legal implications;
and (4) discover materials and design solutions for healthy buildings.
The focus is on architectural concrete masonry units and
proper construction
techniques to counter mold. This presentation meets AIA
requirements for a one-hour Health,
Safety and Welfare credit.
Designing with Concrete Masonry Units for
a Healthier, Safer Building Environment (HSW)
- Program #:
TREN-03
- AIA/CES Learning units: 1
AIA approved course. This course for 1.0 HSW/LU hours.
Concrete masonry is an effective solution
for the ever-changing design environment. In this HSW program,
the importance
of test reports and their
relevance to
design and sound construction of the building envelope is explained.
This program also
addresses how good masonry practices can assist designers in achieving
the objectives of Green Building and Sustainable Design. Also addressed
are the
proper techniques
to create effective results with building acoustics, the importance
of Fire Ratings and the impact on public safety. This presentation
meets
the AIA
requirements for a one-hour Health, Safety and Welfare credit.
Design Tactics for Stone Masonry Products
(HSW)
- Program #: TREN-10
- AIA/CES Learning units: 1
AIA approved course. This course for 1.0 HSW/LU hours.
This one-hour HSW program will explore how
to effectively design masonry walls using proper design techniques
focusing on the prevention of moisture, cracking and cleaning
issues. This building design focus is on planning and designing
sound masonry walls using proper architectural structural
components based on industry guidelines and specifications.
Attendees will learn why walls crack and how to design to
eliminate unnecessary repairing and cleaning of masonry walls.
This presentation meets AIA requirements for a one-hour Health,
Safety and Welfare credit.

education programs.
NCMA
- Moisture Resistance in Concrete Masonry Wall Design (HSW)
NCMA Program #0508-01
This program explores the physical dynamics
of why water penetrates through a wall and the affects
of water penetration
to the
three main types of wall assembly. The keys to preventing
moisture penetration and the three (3) levels of defense
will be reviewed
along with the types of materials available to maintain
the integrity of your structure. Other areas discussed are
the
importance of workmanship, types of mortar and their application,
as well as the role of repellants. The program value is
one Learning Unit (LU) and provides one Health, Safety and
Welfare
(HSW) credit.
NCMA - Crack Control in Concrete Masonry
Walls (HSW)
NCMA Program #0503-01
Learn how you can design your wall to
accommodate movement and the reasons for shrinkage cracking.
The role of reinforcement
in controlling shrinkage cracking and the impact of
mortar strength are also discussed. MSJC standards for controlling
cracking are reviewed. The program value is one
Learning
Unit (LU) and provides one Health, Safety and Welfare
(HSW) credit.
