Date: August 24, 2023
Time: 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
Designing to accommodate thermal movement is just one of the many critical details for the long-term success of a metal roof installation. Students will learn design and specification considerations as well as architectural details that impact project requirements. In addition, we’ll cover the components and the energy efficient features of metal roofing assemblies.
Attendees can earn 1 AIA/HSW Learning Unit. Certificates of completion will be available.
