"Green"
Plants for a Sustainable Future Plant Tour,
(PA Location Only)
During this tour, participants will learn what Environmental steps
Aluminum Fenestration manufacturers can take to support the Efforts
of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and Leadership
in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED™) Program. This will
be accomplished by means of a "behind-the scenes" plant
tour, which shows participants the many aspects of how a manufacturer
is regulated for waste and emissions, which products are recycled
prior, during and after the manufacturing process and how these materials
can be beneficial for Green Buildings and contribute towards LEED
Certification.

Improving
Thermal Performance in Structural Windows
"This presentation discusses two very important and effective
ways to improve the thermal performance of windows used in non-residential
applications. The presentation explores the materials available
for use in thermal barrier systems in terms of both thermal and
structural performance. Additionally, the presentation will reinforce
the use of warm-edge glass spacers as an effective way to reduce
condensation and improve overall thermal efficiency in insulated
glass window systems.

Designing with Broken
Glass
Participants will discuss and have a better
understanding of the "New" performance requirements for
Hurricane/Impact rated fenestration products in coastal applications.
This includes discussion on the effects of the current International
Building Codes (IBC) and how it has been influenced by ASCE-7. Each
participant will gain knowledge on the application of these new codes
and regulations, how they will affect manufacturers, bid documents
and how to properly approach design and performance objectives.
