Environmental Coatings Compliance, 1.0 LU/HSW/SD (TNE007)
This program will give the participant an understanding of the complexities of specifying performance-based coating systems on environmentally sensitive projects. The changing legislation of the various air districts throughout the United States, and the requirements of each, will be outlined. This understanding will allow specifiers and owners to recommend the appropriate coating system to meet the intent and requirements of both voluntary programs such as LEED and the various government mandated environmental control measures. 

The True Value of High Performance Coatings, 1.0 LU/HSW (TNE008)
This program will give the participant an understanding of how to evaluate the true value of high performance coating systems including life cycle cost. Discussion will focus on the importance of selecting coatings based on their performance characteristics rather than the price of the product. Case studies and test standards will be reviewed in order to help architects and specifiers develop specifications to include quality coating systems.

Designing with Surfaced Masonry Wall Systems, 1.0 LU/HSW (TNE009)
This program will cover the various types of surfaced masonry wall systems for interior CMU walls.
