Workshop on Building Science Offered by CertainTeed

CertainTeed Corporation’s Insulation Group is offering a new traveling building science workshop for architects, builders, building owners, engineers, developers and local government and code officials. The workshop comes to you and is presented by local CertainTeed territory managers free of charge.

Headquartered in Valley Forge, PA, CertainTeed is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB.

The CertainTeed workshop includes a PowerPoint presentation on the “Art of Building Science,” a VHS tape on scientific principles, binders on building science for all participants, and test questions and answers. A $399 DVD presentation is also available for more individual study and one-on-one presentations.

The workshop covers the following information:

• An introduction to building science
• Heat flow in structures
• Air flow in structures
• Moisture flow and management in structures
• Indoor air quality
• Evaluating HVAC and the building envelope
• Sound control

“As a manufacturer, most people think all we do is produce building materials, but our focus is also on customer solutions — offering tools and education programs to assist builders and architects in designing and building more energy-efficient, safe, durable and comfortable structures,” says Glenn Singer, manager of building science at CertainTeed.

To arrange a workshop at your office, contact your local CertainTeed territory manager or call 1-800-233-8990.
