About InsulTech System™
The patented InsulTech™ Insulated Concrete Masonry System (ICMS) is a complete thermally-broken, continuous-insulated system that delivers unmatched masonry thermal performance rated at R-16.2 – far exceeding today’s most stringent code requirements. The InsulTech Masonry System is certified by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation, #FL28455, and is comprised of five crucial components in a single, preassembled 12 ¼” unit that dramatically improves installation efficiency: structural CMU, EPS insulation, air barrier, drainage plane, and veneer face. With both the structural block and exterior veneer available in both standard finishes and Trenwyth® architectural finishes, InsulTech outperforms other insulated CMU block systems in both thermal performance and architectural flexibility. When your project calls for the ultimate in masonry thermal performance, look no further than InsulTech.
Continuing Education
Lunch and Learn
Excellence in Single Wythe Masonry (LU/HSW)
CEU Credits: 1 LU | HSW
When properly constructed, single-wythe masonry walls offer a myriad of benefits that no other building material can touch from fire to moisture protection, durability to aesthetics, and cost-effective installation This presentation covers how to properly construct a wall using proper design techniques focusing on the prevention of moisture, cracking, and cleaning issues in order to take full advantage of the benefits of masonry construction.
Lunch and Learn
Concrete Masonry Walls for Mold and Moisture Prevention (LU/HSW)
CEU Credits: 1 LU | HSW
Protecting the building’s envelope from water penetration is critical to the architect and design team. This program addresses the specific detail measures that can contribute to a successfully designed building which will help prevent water penetration.
Lunch and Learn
Modern Masonry: Fire Protection and Enhanced Performance
CEU Credits: 1 LU | HSW
The recent string of large construction fires across the US has cost billions of dollars in damages to job sites and nearby structures. In this course, learn the root cause of these blazes and how sound design, paired with the use of masonry, can offer fire resistance both during the construction phase and over the life of the building.
Lunch and Learn
IECC Energy Review and Masonry Compliance Options (LU/HSW)
CEU Credits: 1 LU | HSW
The International Energy Construction Code is leading the charge for increasingly stringent energy code requirements across the nation, requiring ongoing adaptation of design strategies.
This course reviews exterior envelope R-Value requirements and masonry wall compliance options in regards to the latest IECC code as well as several competitive building materials. We will review evolving exterior wall R-value requirements, explore the definition and impact of continuous insulation (CI), and present design opportunities for innovative wall systems that meet and exceed IECC performance standards.
Lunch and Learn
Green Building Design with Concrete Masonry Units (LU/HSW)
CEU Credits: 1 LU | HSW
Lunch and Learn
Masonry and Leed v4.1 (LU/HSW)
CEU Credits: 1 LU
Sustainable design and green building are ever-evolving, with the latest version, LEED v4.1 introduced in 2019.
This course will explore the latest modifications to the LEED standard, with a particular emphasis on masonry compliance and contribution. Developed by LEED expert Christine A. Subasic, P.E., LEED A.P., the course will introduce attendees to sustainable design and provide an overview of the LEED Rating System, and its credit categories, with a particular emphasis on Materials and Resources, as well as covering criteria and considerations used in selecting masonry products for LEED projects.
Lunch and Learn
Designing with Masonry for a Healthier, Safer Building Environment (LU/HSW)
CEU Credits: 1 LU | HSW
Masonry delivers a variety of benefits to occupants and designers alike including being highly environmentally-friendly due to its durability and reduced embodied energy compared to other structural building materials.
This course will discuss ASTM specification classifications, as well as the various texture, pattern and color variations offered by masonry. Additionally, the course will review the environmental contributions that masonry offers the architect including the prevention of moisture and mold in construction projects and protentional LEED credits.
Lunch and Learn
Controlling Moisture in Masonry (LU)
CEU Credits: 1 LU | HSW
Moisture intrusion is a leading cause of structural damage across all building types, and a leading threat to occupant health and wellbeing.
This presentation will cover masonry solutions that deliver superior moisture control and an environmentally sound structure. We will cover proper flashing and masonry installation strategies, discuss water repellant admixture advances for both block and mortars, and review the advantages of complete masonry systems to mitigate water penetration and provide backup moisture management.
