IMI in the City
SEATS ARE STILL AVAILABLE for the February 7 event at the AIA Chicago office, see details below.
Have lunch and get warm and cozy with IMI and the “Thermal Performance of Concrete Masonry Systems”.
This course carries 1 HSW AIA CEU.
IMI in the City will be held once a quarter in 2017. We are excited to bring IMI programming to design professionals in the city. Attendees do not need to be members of AIA to attend. IMI in the City continuing education events are held at the offices of the Chicago AIA, 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 250, Chicago, IL 60601.
Course Description
Increased energy efficiency in both new and existing construction is continuing to play a larger factor behind the design decisions we make and materials we choose to integrate into our buildings.
This presentation illustrates how building envelopes including concrete masonry can not only meet minimum requirements, but exceed them as well.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course, participants will be able to understand:
1. The role of thermal mass in building design, increased energy efficiency, and comfort
2. The role R-Values play in the design of building envelopes and code compliance
3. Options for complying with the IECC
4. Methods of controlling air infiltration and exfiltration for increased energy efficiency
