5 E. Wilson St,Madison WI 53703

15 March, 2022

Description

2022 AIA Southwest Wisconsin Eat & Earn programs are at a new location - The Madison Club! In this session, architects who work with exterior cladding systems will receive an introduction to pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and their characteristics as structural building materials. Using this information, session participants will be able to demonstrate how FRP girts can be used for a cladding support structure and simultaneously create a thermally efficient wall. Participants will be able to define continuous insulation (CI) systems per ASHRAE 90.1 and differentiate FRP CI systems vs. traditional steel girt systems. Finally, participants will be able to obtain the necessary design resources to integrate FRP CI systems in future projects. The session will be taught by those highly experienced in the field of girt systems and exterior cladding. Learning Objectives:  Describe the beneficial characteristics of pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites used as building materials, including how this will impact the user’s experience living/working in the building.Identify the relevant codes and standards that apply when using FRP as a building material and discuss their application in common architectural designs.Demonstrate how FRP girts can be used for a cladding support structure and simultaneously create a thermally efficient wall, and specifically address how this benefits occupants of the building.Obtain and utilize the necessary design resources to integrate FRP CI systems in future projects to foster increased efficiency and longevity of structures for building owners and occupants.Presented by Pete Read - Arcspec This event is intended for AIA members and Architecture Industry Professionals. 1.0 LU Register by 11:30 am on Wednesday, March 9 Please consider a donation to the Wisconsin Architects Foundation and/or the Wisconsin Society of Architects/Political Action Committee Course number: A0782022005 New Location at the Madison ClubDress Code COVID FAQs DIRECTIONS & PARKING The Madison Club is located at 5 E.
