As architects and planners seek to maximize the use of all available space, the next generation of low-slope roofs are not only waterproof coverings, but platforms for assets such as […]

While building physics largely are based on Newtonian principles, physics outside of the built environment have been moving toward quantum mechanics. This presentation will start to see environmental factors through […]

This one-hour course will cover electronic leak detection (ELD) testing methods used for quality assurance of roofing and waterproofing membranes. Participants will learn about the principles outlined in the ASTM […]

In this session, we will cover the lessons learned from multiple case studies regarding electronic leak detection (ELD) quality control testing as part of new construction, forensic testing in existing […]

Extreme heat causes more deaths in the United States than any other natural disaster. Discussions around the role of buildings in heat mitigation and resilience often focus on air-conditioning, and […]
