Breaking the Rules of Boring Roofs
Commercial roofs are often thought of a simple necessity and are hardly ever given an opportunity to be more than a functional part of the structure. However, with a little creative thinking, material selection, and thoughtful design, roofs can accomplish more than simply keeping out the rain.
Kemper Courses
Cold Liquid Applied Roofing & Waterproofing Systems
AIA COURSE CREDIT
History of fully reinforced, cold-fluid applied, liquid resin waterproofing membranes. Technology-composite of resin and reinforcement. Understanding system components. Application process, performance benefits, range of applications. Project examples including detailing and various assemblies.
Green Blue and White and Its Applicability to Sustainable Design
AIA COURSE CREDIT
There are now three distinct types of sustainable roof solutions: green, blue and white. Designers need to understand the relative benefits of each approach to select the appropriate system for the project. Understand the standards that are used as the basis for green roofs and their myriad benefits that can be reaped. Numerous case studies will be presented.
AIA COURSE CREDIT
With the mainstream usage of the Cold Fluid Applied, Liquid Resin Roofing & Waterproofing Membranes: it is necessary to obtain the technical knowledge used to provide QC inspections. Course will provide attendees of basic "what to look for" information, some science related to the information, and corrective course of actions that may be possible.
Technical Inspections for Liquid Resin Roofing & Waterproofing
AIA COURSE CREDIT
The effects of Storm Water during Peak Flow periods in areas serviced by Combined Sewer Systems is a hot button issue all over the US. Blue Roofs are a useful and cost effective tool for managing Storm Water during Peak Flow periods and can be used to contribute to minimizing Combined Sewer Over-Flow.

Roof Top Paver Systems
Rooftop paver systems have become an integral part of commercial roofing that not only improves the energy efficiency, but also increases the life expectancy. Roof top pavers provide a durable surface, protecting the roof system from thermal shock, UV degredation and impact. Understand applications for pavers, financial and environmental drivers, proper methods of installation etc.
SWD Spray Foam Courses
AIA COURSE CREDIT
Designing a Better Building Envelope Using Spray Foam
Topics: • Identify the 4 essential building envelope barriers and how spray foam fits into building envelope design • Understand how building envelope design can affect indoor air quality • Define how spray foam aligns with sustainable and green design • Discuss spray foam roofing and insulation life-cycle costing and health benefits.
AIA COURSE CREDIT
Designing a Better Commerical Wall Assembly Using Spray Foam
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPU) insulation can be some of the best choices today when designing a building envelope. It is a spray-applied foam that can be used as an air barrier, vapor retarder and continuous insulation in commercial wall assemblies. Spray foam creates a completely seamless air barrier that is energy-efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly. At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
-
describe the difference between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam and know how to use them
-
understand the common wall assemblies where spray foam is used
-
grasp the building science associated with each wall assembly
-
understand the critical code requirements regarding applications with SPF

Innovative Insulation Technologies
Insulation has come a long way from the days of bulky foams, fiberglass and mineral fiber products. Today’s rigid insulation board technologies offer architects and builders choices that can optimize energy efficiency, moisture resistance and fire performance – and provide thinner walls to increase leasable space and ROI. Specific rigid insulation board technologies are suitable for foundations, floors, walls, and soffits. By understanding these technologies, architects can select the best insulation type for each part of a project. Course ID: KS_CE_IT1710

Concrete Enhancement Technology that Works for Construction Projects
This course provides an in depth examination of the epidemic issue of new construction concrete slabs not being able to pass flooring and roofing field moisture testing guidelines in today’s compressed building cycle. This program reviews the magnitude of the problem, discusses the various causes, and offers proactive solutions that enable project teams to remove concrete moisture from the construction process effectively, efficiently and with liability truly mitigated.
