Resilient Buildings are Sustainable and Protect Life

Host: Christin Burgess, Karl Truderung

For communities to thrive, the buildings and structures that make up that community must stand up to challenges presented by climate change, severe weather, fire, earthquakes, floods and other natural and human-caused disasters. We cannot change the weather, but we can change how we build: better life safety and more economic security. This presentation will explore ways precast concrete can contribute to durable and resilient precast concrete building envelope enclosures and construct resilient buildings that protect lives, lifestyles and livelihoods.

Passive House Total Precast Course - Case Study

Host: Irene Rivera - Jake Cammisoli

Architectural Thin Brick Veneer

Host: Steve Kegley

As prefabricated precast concrete has increased in popularity, AEC professionals are regularly incorporating embedded thin brick veneer as the architectural feature of the building envelope. Clay brick has been a staple in the annals of architecture for centuries and this course introduces AEC professionals to a brief history of thin brick manufacturing processes. Also, the course presents a set of guidelines and highlights where prefabricated precast thin brick wall systems have been used.

Endless Aesthetic Possibilities
With Formliners & Colour Stains

Host: Ray Clark - Sonny Arora - Dan McBride.

Formliners can be used to create almost any design desired; brick, stone, wood, masonry, photos, mountains or cultural icons. Adding formliners to precast concrete, you are only limited by your imagination. Colour can define form, shape and space. The perfect colour dramatically enhances the visual appeal of a structure. In recent years, colour staining has exploded onto the marketplace and allowed designers to create new innovative designs. Join us to learn more about the use and applications of Formliners and Colour Stains for precast concrete construction.

Garnitures de fond de moule
et teintures de couleur

Host: CPCI

Les garnitures de fond de moule peuvent être utilisées pour créer presque tous les motifs souhaités : briques, pierres, bois, maçonnerie, photos. Avec des garnitures de fond de moule et du béton préfabriqué, vous n’êtes limité que par votre imagination. La couleur peut définir la forme et l’espace. La couleur appropriée améliore considérablement l’attrait visuel d’une structure. Au cours des dernières années, la coloration à l’aide de teintures a explosé sur le marché, permettant aux concepteurs de créer de nouveaux designs innovants. Apprenez-en plus sur l’utilisation et les applications des garnitures de fond de moule et des teintures de couleur pour la construction préfabriquée en béton.

Integrated Ventilation Solutions Significantly Improve
Air Quality and Reduce Airborne Disease Transmission

Host: Tom Machinchick and Jack Laken

Integrating TermoBuild Technology with the building envelope, precast concrete floors and HVAC system combines four systems: heating, cooling, fresh air ventilation, and thermal energy storage. In addition to elevated efficiency, Integrated Ventilation Design reduces the risk of the spread of infectious diseases by significantly curtailing the recirculation of stale air within the building. This session will substantiate the value of integrated ventilation design. Discover how to position precast concrete hollowcore slabs as a smart, sustainable building material for new construction and retrofits for low-energy or zero net energy intelligent buildings, and more.

Systèmes de construction totalement préfabriqués en béton : Une méthode de construction accélérée de bâtiments. (CAB)

Host: Malcolm Hachborn

Les bâtiments préfabriqués et modulaires sont construits hors site, dans un environnement contrôlé, à l’aide de matériaux durables et conçus pour répondre aux mêmes codes, normes et exigences que les installations construites de manière conventionnelle, mais avec l’avantage d’un temps de construction beaucoup plus court. La CAB, la construction accélérée de bâtiments totalement préfabriqués, peut réduire de façon substantielle les délais des projets de construction, raccourcir les périodes de financement et produire un retour sur investissement plus rapide, tout en offrant une gamme illimitée de finitions esthétiques.

Prefab Total Precast Concrete Building Systems:
An Important Method of Accelerated Building Construction

Host: Malcolm Hachborn

Prefab and modular buildings are constructed off-site, in a controlled environment, using durable materials and designed to meet the same codes, standards and requirements as conventionally built facilities – but with the advantage of a much faster construction time. ABC Total Precast Systems can substantially reduce construction project timelines, shorten funding periods, and produce a quicker return on investment all while offering an unlimited array of aesthetics finishes.
