SCHEDULE 7:30 AM – 8:00 AM Registration 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM Moisture Management in Masonry Buildings 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM Value Engineering Masonry 10:30 AM – 10:45 AM Break 10:45 AM – 11:45 AM A Conversation Regarding Indiana Limestone 11:45 AM- 12:15 AM Lunch 12:15 PM – 1:15 PM Incorporating the Forgotten Thermal Benefits of Brick 1:15 PM – 2:15 PM Notes form the Field: Masonry from a Mason’s Perspective 2:15 PM – 1:30 PM Break 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM Cements for Masonry 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM Hands-On Masonry Basics PROGRAM Moisture Prevention in Masonry Construction (1 AIA LU/HSW) Presented by Jeff Lucas, CSI This program shows the components of a well-designed masonry cavity wall flashing system. Attendees will learn about the performance characteristics of typical flashing membranes, see examples of flashing system designs that produce high-performance masonry cavity walls, and learn about flashing details for corners, curved walls, and other wall systems. At the end of the program, attendees will have a better understanding of the design and installation of an excellent flashing system for masonry cavity walls. Value Engineering Masonry (1.5 AIA LU/HSW) Presented by Scott W. Walkowicz, P.E., FTMS, N.C.E.E.S. This session presents key concepts that optimize masonry value to projects and can lead to cost savings. The focus is on archetypes that respond best to masonry strengths and macro-/micro-concepts that contribute to further optimization. A Conversation Regarding Indiana Limestone (Submitted for AIA LU/HSW approval) Presented by Todd Schnatzmeyer, Indiana Limestone Institute of America Delivered in the context of a one-on-one conversation, we bring the participant a short history lesson on how the Salem deposit was formed and how this dimension building stone became commonly known as “Indiana limestone”. We explore how the stone is commonly quarried, fabricated and brought to bear in the built environment. We also explore how the Indiana limestone industry along with other natural stone producers have answered the challenge to prove sustainability. Incorporating the Forgotten Thermal Benefits of Brick (1 AIA LU/HSW) Presented by Chip Clark, Technical Education Representative BIA (Brick Industry Association) While frequently chosen for aesthetics and durability, clay brick is not often considered when energy efficiency is a primary concern, even though it historically played a significant role in occupant comfort before widespread use of HVAC systems. This course discusses the basics of heat transfer, relevant energy code provisions for walls, and how current research by the National Brick Research Center demonstrates the role that brick veneer can play in meeting or exceeding energy requirements in modern wall assemblies. Notes from the Field: Masonry from a Mason’s Perspective (1 AIA LU/HSW) Presented by Joe Alberts, International Masonry Institute Have you ever wondered what goes through a mason’s mind during the phases of a construction project? Get a mason’s perspective on common issues that increase the cost of masonry projects, constructability problems, rarely mentioned field practices, and more. You’ll walk away with new insights to improve production, durability, and aesthetics on your next project. Cements for Masonry (1 LU) Presented by Claude Bergeron, Lafarge-Holcim US Learning Objectives upon completing this program, the participant should know how to correctly use ASTM specifications for cements for masonry. Know which mortar properties are of greatest significance. Know how to specify the correct tests before construction. Know how to specify the correct tests during construction. Understand mortar in the field. Hands-On Masonry Basics (1 AIA LU/HSW) Presented by Roger Jones & Daniel Flores, BAC 4 IN/KY Apprenticeship The intent of this program is to provide Architects, Engineers, Code Inspectors with an enhanced ability to design/analyze the constructability of a typical masonry wall by observing proper installation techniques. A station will allow for designers to physically apply mortar to bricks and build a wall with the help of masonry instructors to further develop their understanding of the skill and craft involved.
