Pigments serve many functions in paint other than supplying color. Characteristics such as durability, hide, gloss, and fading are influenced by the choice of pigment. This course explores how color choices affect the appearance and performance of architectural paints. We will discuss the types of pigments used in architectural paints, how paint is tinted, and how the choice of pigments and colorants influence factors such as hide, gloss, fading, durability, and price.
This course delves into the integration of wood specialty ceilings in commercial buildings, exploring pre-engineered systems and a range of finishes. Participants will assess how aesthetic choices impact overall performance, safety, and durability in various designs. Key performance attributes, including acoustics, fire resistance, plenum accessibility, seismic resilience, sustainability, and installation ease, will be examined. The course also addresses the distinctions between solid and veneer wood panels, considering their visual impact, performance characteristics, lead times, and financial considerations, providing participants with a thorough understanding of wood specialty ceiling systems for designs that excel in both form and function.

Ce cours permet de comprendre le Code national de l’énergie pour les bâtiments 2020 (CNÉB) pour le Nouveau-Brunswick et de doter les participants des connaissances et des compétences nécessaires pour améliorer la performance énergétique des bâtiments. Il est conçu pour les professionnels de l’industrie du bâtiment et de la construction qui cherchent à approfondir leur expertise en matière de conception de bâtiments éconergétiques. Le cours couvre les principes de la science du bâtiment liés au transfert de chaleur et d’air à travers l’enveloppe du bâtiment, les principes clés de la conception de l’efficacité énergétique, l’impact du pont thermique et la façon de le minimiser grâce à de meilleures techniques de conception et de construction. En outre, les participants exploreront des méthodes avancées d’isolation et d’étanchéité à l’air, ainsi que des stratégies pour optimiser l’emplacement et l’efficacité des fenêtres. À la fin du cours, les participants seront bien préparés pour concevoir des bâtiments efficaces sur le plan énergétique qui satisfont ou dépassent les exigences du CMNÉB 2020, contribuant ainsi à des pratiques de construction durables et à haute performance.
