AWMAC's Free Lunch and Learn Presentation is tailor-made for Architectural & Design firms that specify architectural woodwork for their projects. This one hour presentation gives participants the chance to learn about the standards manual - NAAWS: North American Architectural Woodwork Standards.
This course is an introduction to building product transparency, which is the practice of disclosing detailed information about products and services, including the raw materials they contain, where they came from, and how they were produced. The course will explore the impact of building materials on the environment, drivers of product transparency, and the different transparency tools such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Health Product Declarations (HPDs) that can help purchasers understand a product's environmental footprint so they can make more informed product decisions.

LUNCH & LEARN OPPORTUNITY - IN-PERSON or VIRTUAL
This one hour presentation covers the lastest in polurea waterproofing and polyurethane foam technology. It covers what it is, benefits, testing, construction details, and application.
IN PERSON - FREE - 1 HOUR - TBD
The presentation describes the requirements which must be satisfied for a product to meet the superior level of coating performance for this type of specification. Aluminum as a substrate was discussed; coating composition and integrity, exterior weatherability and general appearance were also addressed. Participants learn to compare AAMA 2600 specifications and learn why finishes fail.
IN PERSON - FREE - 1 HOUR - TBD
The presentation discusses, in a brand-neutral format, such topics as the history of fibreglass, properties and characteristics of alternative materials, the value of alternative materials in enhancing a home's design, and a general overview of a typical pultrusion process.
IN PERSON - FREE - 1 HOUR - TBD
The brand neutral presentation explains the basics of how windows and doors lose or gain heat, what makes a window energy-efficient, how frame materials perform differently, how to measure a window's performance, and how to specify the right window.
IN PERSON - FREE - 1 HOUR - TBD
This course delivers fundamental information needed to include written window specifications in the Bidding Documents. Recognizing the wide range of specification levels for different kinds of commercial and residential projects, this presentation will walk through a window specification and describe appropriate content for each part. With a focus on clad wood and fiberglass window applications, this program provides suggestions for writing clear, well-developed specifications.

In this presentation SOPREMA is proud to introduce the BUILD BETTER program including the Protected Wall Assembly that passed the CAN/ULC-S134 fire test. In the past few years, SOPREMA undertook a series of tests and simulations in partnership with external firms to understand the interaction between materials in the wall assembly. SOPREMA believes that in order to build better, energy used to operate a building should not be lost due to poor thermal insulation strategies, air leaks, or thermal bridges. The Protected Wall Assembly offers many benefits such as thermal performance and cost efficiency and could change the way we build for a better future.
