How Concrete Masonry Materials
Contribute
to Green Building Certifications / 1 LU
Instructor
will discuss with us how concrete masonry materials contribute to green building
construction. Within the quiet revolution of “greening” America, the design
and construction industries have integrated efforts to conserve, recycle and
boost efficiency into a comprehensive strategy known as sustainable design. This
practice involves the careful selection of building materials, design details
and construction methods to create structures that require fewer natural
resources to build and maintain today.

Designing Concrete Masonry Walls to Resist Water
Penetration
/ 1 LU
Describes how to keep the
interior of a concrete masonry structure completely dry through the use of
quality materials, proper detailing and specifying and proper construction
techniques. |
