Current CEU course offerings include:
Sustainable Resilience: The Benefits of Synthetic Roofing
(1 AIA LU|HSW, 1 GBCI CE)
This program reviews the evolution of roofing materials and examines the performance advantages of synthetic roofing systems compared to traditional options. Key topics include service life, maintenance, fire and impact resistance, wind performance, carbon footprint, and resistance to environmental degradation, illustrating how synthetic roofing contributes to resilient and durable construction.
What Makes a Product “Sustainable” and How Does This Apply to Roofing Materials?
(1 AIA LU|HSW, 1 GBCI CE)
This course examines how sustainability is defined and measured in building products, with a focus on roofing materials. Topics include material sourcing, manufacturing practices, lifecycle assessment, and circularity. The program reviews sustainable roofing technologies and systems and provides a framework for evaluating environmental performance claims and long-term impacts.
The Impact of Roofing Color & Material on Building Performance
(1 AIA LU|HSW)
This course examines how roofing material and color selection influence energy performance, urban heat island mitigation, and sustainability outcomes. Through case studies, the program evaluates both successful and unsuccessful applications and presents best practices for selecting roofing materials and colors based on climate conditions, durability requirements, and energy performance goals.
The Advantage of Synthetic Exterior Building Products
(1 AIA LU|HSW)
This program explores the history and evolution of synthetic materials in exterior building applications, examining how advances in manufacturing and material science have influenced modern design. The course compares synthetic and traditional materials in terms of durability, weight, fire resistance, weather exposure, lifecycle value, and sustainability, and provides guidance on specification considerations and performance evaluation.
