Metal-Era Offers Continuing Education Courses
Waukesha, WI—Metal-Era, Inc. announces their ongoing continuing education programs. Metal-Era’s partnerships with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Roof Consultants Institute (RCI) allow design professionals to receive continuing education credit.
Metal-Er'’s continuing education offerings consist of two programs: Understanding ANSI/SPRI ES-1 and Principles of Commercial Roof Ventilation.
Understanding ANSI/SPRI ES-1 covers wind uplift issues related to the roof edge. Program content includes:
- Previous wind design standards
- The need for ANSI/SPRI ES-1 standard
- ES-1 standard and key components
- Calculation of wind design pressure
Principles of Commercial Roof Ventilation focuses on the unique demands of roof ventilation for commercial buildings. Program content includes:
- The principles involved in properly ventilating a roof system
- Additional, unique needs of commercial buildings compared to residential buildings
- The role net free area (NFA) plays in commercial ventilation
"For over 10 years, we've had a great response to the Understanding ASNSI/SPRI ES-1 seminar, and it’s grown even more since we expanded it to include webinars," says Tony Mallinger, Chief Operations Officer. “As we enter our third year providing the Principles of Commercial Roof Ventilation program, interest has increased rapidly. Commercial ventilation is a topic that hasn’t been well addressed in the past, creating confusion in the industry. We're pleased to provide clear and sound guidelines for design professionals."
Metal-Era's continuing education programs are available in the form of monthly webinars (online seminars). Understanding ANSI/SPRI ES-1 is offered on the second Thursday of every month at 10:30 am central time. Principles of Commercial Ventilation is offered on the fourth Thursday of every month at 10:30 am central time. Additional presentations (either face-to-face or webinar) are available upon request. There is no charge for the program.
Both programs offer one AIA continuing education unit, one AIA health, safety and welfare credit and one RCI continuing education hour.
