Course Description:
This course will provide architects, specifiers, and façade consultants education about silicone-based spandrel glass coating technologies. Attendees will learn about the risks of thermal stress breakage due to ceramic frit’s weakening effects on heat-treated glass. Testing methodology and industry standards will also be addressed. Alternative coating solutions will be introduced as a strategy to reduce risk of thermally induced breakage in glass facades.

Learning Objectives: After completion of this course, participants will be able to understand the following:

• Aesthetic and Environmental Benefits of a Glass Facade
• What is Thermal Stress Breakage?
• Why does Thermal Stress Breakage Occur and How Could Safety be Compromised?
• What is the Solution and How is Welfare Impacted by Material Selection?
