Designing Socially Sustainable Bathrooms
1 AIA HSW CE Hour |  Course: ITO22D
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals | GBCI Course ID: 0090008303
Provider: InfoSpec, Inc.
Sponsor: TOTO
Presenter: 
This one-hour course makes the case that Universal Design and Environmentally Sustainable Design be merged into Socially Sustainable Design and become best practice used in all good design. With a focus on bathroom design, we explore what makes a restroom friendly and accessible to all while providing state-of-the art water efficiency and disease-free surfaces. The goal is a socially sustainable bathroom that provides comfort and facility for allowing users of all ages while preserving health, independence, and dignity. The attendee also will receive information on tools which reduce design time and help meet the criteria for LEED certification.

10:20 -11:20 AM 
Exterior Continuous Insulated Claddings for Energy Efficiency and Architectural Diversity 
1 AIA HSW CE Hour | Course: BL0002
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals | GBCI Course ID: 0090005704
Provider: Dryvit System, Inc. 
Presenter: JW Mollohan 
This program examines the use of Exterior Continuous Insulation based on current and proposed model building energy code requirements specifically related to improved energy efficiency objectives for envelope wall assemblies. There is a succinct relationship between overall building envelope performance, wall design, air barrier integration and insulation type and placement. 
The energy code mandated use of Continuous Insulation becomes increasingly important to understand for all projects regardless of climate zone and directly relates to Environmental Stewardship and long term Sustainability. Attendees will further recognize how the use of Exterior Insulated Claddings in envelope wall design provide a cost effective and aesthetically diverse solution to meeting the intent of the energy code and accomplishing overall improvements to building envelope performance for both new and renovation constructions. Recognize Building Code and Green Design Standard's requirements for Exterior Continuous Insulation.

11:30 - 12:30 PM 
Understanding Recycled Content Surfacing Material 
1 AIA HSW CE Hour |  Course: ICS06A
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals | GBCI Course ID: 0090003989
Provider: InfoSpec, Inc. 
Sponsor: Cosentino
Presenter: Glen Kross
This one hour live course describes the importance of recycled content surfacing products and how
they affect a building's indoor environmental quality. We will review how these materials are manufactured and specified and we will evaluate how they may contribute towards LEED project certification. After a comparison on traditional and recycled surfacing materials, we will discuss the importance of going beyond "green".

12:30 - 01:30 PM:  Lunch will be provided

01:30 - 02:30 PM     
Steep Slope Stone Coated Metal Roofing Systems 
1 AIA HSW CE Hour | Course: IMU07C 
Provider: InfoSpec, Inc.
Sponsor: Metals USA
Presenter:  
 •  Define stone coated Metal.
 •  Depict how stone coated Metal roofing is manufactured. 
 •  Explain the benefits of stone coated metal roofing. 
 •  Demonstrate new and innovative ideas to take into the design process for schools, hospitals 
       and other commercial applications, and to help you through that process.
 •  Discuss how specifying stone coated metal roofing systems may contribute towards a project 
       earning LEED certification. 
 •  Describe how Stone Coated Metal Roofing Systems are energy efficient & Energy Star qualified. 
 •  Explain the cost benefits of Stone Coated Metal roofing systems.

02:40 - 03:40 PM      
Roofing Market Trends & Advantages of Fleeceback Membrane & Urethane Adhesives 
1 AIA HSW CE Hour | Course: SDT110
Provider: Carlisle Syntec 
Presenter: Chris Rice
This seminar covers the physical performance advantages of fleece membranes that enable them to resist the forces of mother nature such as wind, rain and cold. We will also discuss performance advantages of urethane adhesives that eliminate the dependence on solvents with VOC's or asphalt derived from foreign sources of oil. Re-roofing advantages afforded by fleece membranes can re-use existing roofing systems and minimize landfill waste. Multiple-ply membrane options utilizing highly reflective T or extremely weatherable EPDM as the cap sheet will also be visited.

03:50 - 04:50 PM      
Sustainable Materials in Restrooms, Locker Rooms and Other Applications
1 AIA HSW CE Hour |  Course: ISP10B
1 GBCI CE Hour for LEED Professionals  | USGBC Course ID: 0090007573
Provider: InfoSpec, Inc.
Sponsor: Scranton Products
Presenter: 
• Define and describe the material characteristics of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
• Describe how HDPE recycled content reduces environmental impact.
• List several ways HDPE materials offer both initial and long term improvements to the indoor air quality of any project.
• Explain how responsible manufacturing is a critical part of any product's life cycle assessment and give several examples of these environmental improvements over traditional manufacturing processes.

05:00 - 06:00 PM
LEEDing the Way through Green Concrete, Solving the Moisture Issue  
1 AIA HSW CE Hour | Course: VL2020
Provider:  Specialty Products Group, Inc. (k540)
Presenter: Scott Bergsbaken
This Program addresses the impact of the EPA's limitations on VOCs inside the building envelope. 
New limitations are now being placed outside the building envelope that will cause many new challenges to the construction process. The solution knowledge provided by this program measurably improves IAQ, eliminating mass amounts of moisture from the concrete - where there is no moisture, there is no mold.
