IECC Energy Review and Masonry Compliance Options

Thursday, March 12, 2026 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Join us as we review masonry wall compliance options and the exterior envelope R-Value requirements of the 2021 and other iterations of the IECC. We will examine exterior wall R-values and learn to define and incorporate Continuous Insulation (CI) and other design tactics and innovations. We will also present new masonry wall systems that achieve superior moisture management, higher R-values, zero lot line capability, faster construction, pre-installed air barriers and compliance with current IECC.

Smokin NFPA 285 Lessons Learned from the Field

Thursday, March 26, 2026 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

When considering the building enclosure, fire safety is an important design factor and needs to be considered hand-in-hand with energy code requirements. The NFPA 285 "Standard Fire Test Method for Evaluation of Fire Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Non-Load-Bearing Wall Assemblies Containing Combustible Components" is a common consideration with modern building assemblies that use combustible materials.

This presentation will review the history and scope of the NFPA 285 test standard and its adoption within the International Building Code (IBC). It will outline the criteria for compliance, as well as identify triggers and contributors under the standard. The presentation will review how the selection building components such as insulation, air/water resistive barriers and claddings, can affect the fire performance of an assembly and identify solutions and common paths for compliance.

Maximizing Envelope Performance with IMPs & Integrated Components

Thursday, September 17, 2026 | 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

This webinar explores an advanced insulated metal composite panel building envelope system, components that have been engineered to integrate with the system – including windows, daylighting panels, sunshades, and louvers – and how the IMP system and integrated components combine to create a high-performance building envelope.
