Architectural Aluminum Framing Systems for Performance and Protection in High Velocity Wind Zones

Course Description:

In this presentation we will take a high-level review of codes driving impact systems, how to evaluate manufacturer’s tests and discuss examples of systems engineered for high velocity wind zone areas. ​We will also walk through the performance requirements described in ASTM E1886 and E1996 along with TAS 201, 202 & 203 and how these impact systems and evaluating systems based upon the zone outlined the standard.

Basics of Aluminum Storefront Framing Systems

Course Description:

When designers consider all the options they have for aluminum framing systems, it is important to understand the strengths and limitations of each option. This presentation will explain how wind load impacts aluminum frames, how dead load is handled by various systems, how thermal breaks improve the system’s performance and much more.

Modular Design: How to Reduce Waste, Cost and Delivery Time

Course Description:

Rising construction costs and skilled labor shortages fuel demand for transformation within the construction industry and seek advances in traditional construction methods. This session explores solutions for designing high-performance facades that support modular construction trends in commercial buildings.

Benefits of Architectural Aluminum Frames in Retail Construction

Course Description:

Entrances and framing systems are critical to a successful retail project. They have a significant impact on security, convenience, and brand image. This presentation begins with an overview of commonly utilized framing systems and example applications. We will also review elevations and how they hold up to structural forces such as wind load and dead load. ​​

Basics of Commercial Entries and Hardware

Course Description:

We get back to the basics of understanding commercial entrance door construction, operation and hardware types. Discover more about how commercial entry systems in Division 8 Architectural Aluminum Framing can deliver strong aesthetics, while meeting all the essential performance requirements.

Architectural Aluminum Framing Systems for Performance & Protection in High Velocity Wind Zones

Course Description:

Architectural Aluminum Framing systems provide consistent protection from flying debris during a hurricane event. Architects must select the correct systems for their projects based on governing codes, location, wind loads and building use category.

Innovative Modular Construction for Reducing Waste, Cost and Delivery Time

Course Description:

With rising construction costs, skilled labor shortages and a demand for more innovative delivery methods, modular construction provides an efficient alternative to traditional construction. After the webinar, attendees will better understand design solutions for high-performance façades that support modular construction trends in commercial buildings.

Designing Facades to Maximize the Benefits of Natural Lighting

Course Description:

Addressing daylight has always been a concern to architects designing facades. Glass in elevations allows daylight into facilities, and in many cases, could also bring in heat. Today architects designing facades have a range of tools and options that enable them to expand daylighting and views while controlling the negative aspects of solar heat gain.
