This course takes an in-depth look at the “house as a system” approach and will focus on how that construction approach can make a more comfortable and healthy environment for the occupants. This course will look to define the components that make up a door frame assembly, and then continue to discuss potential weaknesses that they all have. The course then looks at examples of door frame failure and shows some problems that can follow. This program is intended for builders and is not registered for continuing education credit. Take the course.

This learning unit was developed for architects and will describe how a complete and well-sealed building envelope helps make the home more durable, sustainable, and healthy for the occupants. We will also continue to discuss how moisture enters the home and the significant issues this moisture can cause, such as poor indoor air quality, pests, and potential rot. This course will look specifically at how a traditional wood door frame system can be vulnerable to moisture issues and are not as successful as newer door frame types. It will wrap up by looking at composite materials used in door frame construction and their benefits. Take the course.

Most users of commercial garage doors assume that because there are so many options to choose from, that it will be an easy decision to select the exact one needed. However, this assumption is far from true, due to the variation in types of commercial door openers and the tough standards they must meet. The variety of options can make the choice even more confusing. By the end of this learning unit, you will be able to list the different types of commercial door operators available and identify the types of operators for commercial door operators. You will be able to describe the importance of photo eyes and their placement. Finally, you will be able to define the UL 325 Code and its importance. Take the course.
