SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Understanding the basics of concrete and crystalline waterproofing
DESCRIPTION:AIAri Windows on Architecture\, 158 Washington Street\, Providence\, RI 02903 \nUnderstanding the basics of concrete and crystalline waterproofing:•    Composition•    Durability•    Degradation•    Dampproofing vs waterproofing•    History of•    BenefitsHow crystalline waterproofing can improve facilities image and occupant’s well-being while reducing maintenance costsHow crystalline waterproofing can contribute to LEED pointsReview completed projects where crystalline technology was used to restore historical properties\, reduce moisture transfer through concrete\, and eliminate interior air quality issues. \nPresenter:   William D. (Bill) Armitage\, Watertite Sales-Owner\, Punta Gorda\, FL. \nWatertite Sales is a master sales representative for Foxfire Enterprises\, Inc. As a master sales representative\, the company has sales representation east of the Mississippi as well as Canada. In addition to Foxfire\, Watertite represents Miracote and their cementitious overlays in the Florida market.Background \nMost of my career was spent in the roofing industry\, primarily the commercial side. I started my career as a sales trainee for a large building manufacturer right out of college. My experience in sales\, marketing\, and management gave me a great education. After 10 years with a manufacturer\, I moved on to the distribution side of the roofing business\, I decided after 5 years with a distributor\, to start my own distributor/representative company. \nI owned several companies\, gathering leadership and sales awards along the way. I had the privilege of sitting on both Carlisle\, and Firestone’s advisory councils. A chance meeting 8 years ago with George Kubala owner of Foxfire Enterprises\, Inc. changed my pathway from roofing to concrete. Foxfire produces crystalline products to densify and seal concrete. Since the majority of the concrete waterproofing market was membrane oriented\, the challenge was to get the specifier to recognize non-membrane sealers as a legitimate method of waterproofing masonry surfaces. The challenges have been great since their a few if any testing criterion for non-membrane type products\, plus we rely on word of mouth advertising. \nOfferingWhat I offer is a clear understanding of what concrete is\, why it works\, and why it fails. I discuss the alternative to membrane type waterproofing\, that of integral waterproofing. Integral waterproofing is over 70 year’s old\, used worldwide. From its early days of a sodium silicate to advances in the lithium market\, chemically treating to waterproof can be used as a standalone process or a “belt and suspender” type application. The advantages of a non-membrane forming product are enormous considering that concrete must breathe to sustain itself. \n RSVP Emma Migneault- emma.migneault@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Rhode Island Commercial Energy Code Trainings: Brown University-Applied Math Building
DESCRIPTION:170 Hope Street\, Conference Room 108\, Providence\, RI \n{{brown}} \nTour from 5:30pm-6:30pm-Free Admission \nThe Applied Math building is an enabling project for a new engineering building. It utilized a Design/Build deliverymethod in an effort to maximize design opportunities and the project budget\, while reducing risk. The Applied MathProject is a mixed-use building comprised of approximately 13\,000 s.f. of offices and support spaces for theUniversity’s Division of Applied Mathematics. The project is designed to achieve a LEED Gold rating from the USGBC.Brown University requires new construction and major renovation projects to be a minimum of 25% more efficient\,and up to 50% more efficient than the Rhode Island adopted International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) at timeof permit application. Compared to the code baseline case for building loads the project is expected to reduce annualenergy consumption by a minimum of 29.42% in site BTU energy use\, surpassing the 25% requirement. Energyefficiency measures include HVAC energy recovery\, radiant heat\, reduced light power densities\, and automaticoccupancy controls. \nRegister here.
