Roofing Market Trends & Advantages of Fleeceback Membrane & Urethane Adhesives
1 AIA HSW CE Hour | Course: SDT110
Provider: Carlisle Construction Materials
Presenter:
Course Description:
In this program the participants will learn the physical performance advantages of fleece membranes
that enable them to resist the forces of mother nature such as wind, hail, rain, and cold. In addition
they will learn the performance advantages of urethane adhesives that eliminate the dependence on
solvents with VOCs or asphalt derived from foreign sources of oil. Several re-roofing advantages
afforded by fleece membranes will be covered where you can re-use existing roofing systems and
minimize landfill waste. Multiple-ply membrane options utilizing highly reflective TPO or extremely
weatherable EPDM as the cap sheet will also be covered.
Learning Objectives:
1.  Learn the physical performance advantages of fleece membranes that enable them to
resist the forces of mother nature such as wind, hail, rain, and cold.
2.  Learn the performance advantages of urethane adhesives that eliminate the
dependence on solvents with VOCs or asphalt derived from foreign sources of oil.
3.  Learn about re-roofing advantages afforded by fleece membranes that can re-use

AIAGC + Kids in Architecture – Needs Volunteers!

aiagcol2.jpg

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Greater Columbia Section would like to invite all interested members to volunteer in this year’s Kids in Architecture Day. This event is sponsored by the AIA Greater Columbia Section as well as the Columbia Museum of Art.

Saturday, May 3rd @10am – 3pm

Columbia Museum of Art
1515 Main Street
Columbia, SC 29201

Please RSVP your volunteer hours to CBeard@BoudreauxGroup.com today!

This year’s Kids in Architecture Day will allow students to experience the architect’s collaborative design process. This program is designed to:
• Introduce students to the process of architectural design
• Explore the relationship between architectural design and art
• Create an awareness of the artistic and built environment
• Enhance communication skills

These program goals will be achieved through the design and construction of a Rube Goldberg machine. In this activity, students will work together and learn that there is more than one creative solution to any problem. Through the successful design of their machines, students will discover that the beauty in any design can be found in how it accomplishes its goal. After the students complete their projects, we will tour the museum’s collection of art and evaluate the unique ways in which various artists accomplish their diverse design goals.

The event will be held on Saturday, May 3rd from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Columbia Museum of Art. The exercises will be facilitated by architects from around Columbia. All materials will be provided by the Museum of Art, a pizza lunch (Pizza Hut) and snacks will be included and the event is completely free. Space, however, is limited.
