Technical Training Courses
Design and Detailing of Clay Brick Veneers AIA
_______________________________________________________
Dr. Mark D Hagel, PhD., PEng.
Executive Director for the Alberta Masonry Council
Brick Veneers both full bed and adhered/anchored thin clay brick are a popular cladding choice for many buildings. This presentation reviews the types of brick veneer designs, applicable CSA and ASTM standards for full bed brick and thin brick and the components and details for these systems.
Unlocking High-Perfomance & Cost-Effective Building Envelopes with Quik-Therm Insulation
_______________________________________________________
Jesse X. Watson RSW, C.E.T.
Quik-Therm is a revolutionary Rood & Wall System creating a high-performance exterior envelope assemblies. Designed specifically for cold climate application, this innovative system simplifies installation, reduces material costs, and maximizes thermal efficiency all while eliminationg the need for costly thermal clips and z-girts.
EIFS - Much more than just a pretty face!
_______________________________________________________
Andre Turrin Technical Director DuRock
DuRock PUCCS and DuRock PUCCS NC are an integral part of the building envelope that separates the indoor environment from the outdoor environment. Whereas PUCCS is our long-standing EIFS with combustible polystyrene insulation, PUCCS NC is the only code-evaluated non-combustible EIFS with a liquid-applied water resistive barrier in Canada.
Principals of Acoustics AIA
_______________________________________________________
Andrew Brassington, CTR Owens Corning
Learn how airborne, structure-borne, and impact noises affect buildings and discover acoustical solutions to improve sound insulation in wall and floor assemblies. Understand STC ratings and the ASTC 47 requirement in the NBCC 2020 for separating walls between dwelling units.
Thermal Bridging In Exterior Wall Assemblies AIA
_______________________________________________________
Andrew Brassington, CTR Owens Corning
Learn the latest updates to bulding codes related to thermal transmittance and how these changes impact the design and perfomance of exterior wall assemblies. We will also examine various cladding attachment strategies, analyzing their influence on thermal bridging and overall energy efficiency. Additionally, the discussion will compare the benefits and drawbacks of fully exterior-insulated wall assemblies versus split-wall assemblies, considering factors such as thermal perfomance, stuctural integrity, and ease of construction.
Gillis Quarries Tyndall Stone 101
_______________________________________________________
Gillis Quarries is a multi-generational company based in southern Manitoba that quarries a natural stone called Tyndall. Its history began 450 million years ago. Tyndall Stone has received the unique global heritage designation, making it 1 of only 32 unique stones in the world, and the only stone to originate from Canada. Its mottled appearance featuring apperances of Paleozoic fossils makes it a truly speical stone that is integral party of Canadian architecture.
Masonry Coursing OAA
_______________________________________________________
Brampton Brick
Masonry coursing is a crucial early design decision that ensures materials align both digitally and on-site. This session will cover common Clay and Concrete masonry sizes, along with strategies for incorporating colours, textures, and patterns while maintaining proper alignment. Additionally, we'll discuss product manufacturing, Canadian vs American masonry standards, the impact of coursing on overall design, and how to effectively us materical coursing charts.
