This presentation gives an overview of the ways the US Green Building Council's various LEED® Programs apply to windows. It reviews credit requirements within the commercial and residential rating systems, and goes into detail about how windows can contribute points towards LEED certification.
Beyond Performance: Assessing the Sustainability of Windows
1 H/S/W SD, 1 GBCI CE Hour
Sustainability concepts such as embodied energy, carbon footprint and life cycle are explained relative to fenestration products. Wood and clad wood, aluminum, fiberglass and vinyl are compared in terms of sourcing, manufacture and end-of-life disposal. A net zero residential case study is included.
AAMA 2605-05
1 H/S/W
Learn about AAMA specifications for coated aluminum clad. The program looks at properties of aluminum as a substrate, describes tests a product must pass to meet AAMA standards and suggests reasons that finishes fail.
Controlling Sound Transmission
1 H/S/W
Learn the importance of building products' acoustical performance and product ratings. This presentation will cover sound transmission loss, acoustical ratings, and ways to achieve the best ratings for a building's location and use.
Window Installation Fundamentals
1 H/S/W
Learn the basics about window installation. This program provides a general overview of best-practice installation procedures for wood windows, aluminum clad windows, and structural installations, including a discussion on opening and unit preparations.
Historic Renovation: Windows
1 H/S/W
This presentation reviews window evaluation and rehabilitation planning for historic buildings. Window replacement is highlighted by case studies which illustrate historic window profile replication.
Harmonizing with History: Window Solutions for Historically Sensitive Settings
1 H/S/W SD
Learn about sympathetic design principles for renovation and new construction in historic settings. Case studies demonstrate window challenges, technical solutions and replacement window performance in institutional buildings.
TOURS
Marvin Factory Tour for Architects
5 H/S/W
The centerpiece of this day-and-a-half program is a 5 hour tour of the Marvin Windows and Doors factory in Warroad, MN. Learn about every facet of window manufacturing from wood processing through final unit assembly.
Cardinal Plant (Tour)
2 H/S/W
Take a two-hour tour of a Cardinal plant and see how float glass (Menomonee, WI) or coated glass, Low E (Northfield, MN) is created. Learn about the fabrication processes for tempering, laminating, coating and insulating glass, and identify common problems in glazing.
Architectural Tour of Minneapolis
4 H/S/W
Newsweek named Minneapolis "Design City" in 2006, based on recent contributions by world class architects including Cesar Pelli, Jean Nouvel and Herzog & deMeuron. See these and other buildings on a walking tour of achitecture in Minneapolis. The architect-led tour focuses on energy efficiency, durability, safety and other fenestration issues. A 2 H/S/W version of this tour is also available.
Ripley Factory Tour
3 H/S/W
This factory tour of Marvin’s patio door manufacturing facility in Ripley, Tennessee gives a thorough overview of the door manufacturing process from wood processing to assembly, including extruded aluminum cladding. Performance- and quality-testing are demonstrated.
