Architectural Tour
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 (Menomonie, WI) or coated glass, Low E (Northfield, MN) is created. Learn about fabrication processes for tempering, laminating, coating, and insulating glass, and identify common problems in glazing.
Sustainable Views: Architecture in Minneapolis (Tour)
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 architecture 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.
Selective Coatings for Energy Efficient Windows
1 H/S/W SD NEW Course
This program describes low emmissivity (Low E) glass coatings, both from scientific and application perspectives. It describes how spectrally selective coatings work and shows how coated glass is manufactured. Performance data and Low E glass applications for various climates are presented.
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.
Window Fenestration and the USGBC LEED Green Building Rating System
1 H/S/W SD
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.
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.
Architectural Design Software
1 LU
MDS (Marvin Design System) is a window and door design and product specification tool that works with CAD. Within the software, units can be added to a project database which allows modifications such as hardware, jamb extension, casing options, divided lites, custom sizing and more.
Beyond Repair: Historic Window Replacement
1 H/S/W SD
This presentation reviews window evaluation and rehabilitation planning for historic buildings. Window replacement is highlighted by case studies which illustrate historic window profile replication.
Building Green
1 H/S/W
Sustainability and environmental friendly design are becoming standards of best practice. This presentation focuses on "green" thinking that has influenced the fenestration industry, showing how window and door materials, manufacturing and installation practices can help qualify a project as green. Learn more about rating programs that support "green" building, such as LEED, ENERGY STAR, NFRC, and Life Cycle Analysis.
IZ Windows and Coastal Codes
1 H/S/W
This presentation covers hurricane history and patterns, the forces driving code development, IRC, IBC, and IECC, impact dynamics, IZ zones, and construction options.
Composite Materials and Pultruded Fiberglass in the Window and Door Industry
1 H/S/W
Understand the development of fiberglass and the pultrusion process, its properties and the characteristics of alternative materials in enhancing home design. This class was developed by Integrity Windows and Doors.
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.
Glazing Codes
1 H/S/W
Receive an overview of the safety glazing requirements in the International Building Codes (IBC). This presentation explains the major window and door safety glazing requirements, what types of glazing can be used to meet standards and testing and labeling requirements to meet code .
Performance Standards and Product Specification
1 H/S/W
This program looks at consolidated performance standards, describing how window performance is measured and graded. Testing procedures are presented, along with information on performance factors, product codes and Hallmark certification.
That's the Beauty of Wood
1 H/S/W
This program examines why wood is an excellent material for the construction of windows and doors. Characteristics of wood are reviewed in the context of sustainability. Wood processing considerations and treatments regarding shrinkage, degradation and preservation are discussed. Wood species including mahoganies from all over the world are compared.
Understanding Energy-Efficient Windows
1 H/S/W SD
This program addresses variables that determine a window's energy efficiency: U-factors, solar heat gain and loss, visible transmittance, air infiltration, frame construction and glazing options.
