Roofing courses offered by Sika Sarnafil

Two continuing education courses offered by Sika Sarnafil, Lyndhurst, N.J., have been approved by the American Institute of Architects, Washington, D.C., and are now certified to fulfill the AIA’s new Sustainable Design CE requirements. The two Sika Sarnafil courses, “Green Roof Education” and “The Facts About PVC,” are now available to all AIA members by calling your local Sika Sarnafil regional sales representatives, or Sika Sarnafil directly at (800) 576-2358. Attendees of “Green Roof Education” will learn the benefits of installing a green roof, why waterproofing is the most important part of a green roof system and how to obtain points towards LEED certification with a green roof. “The Facts About PVC” provides an overview of polyvinyl chloride, which is the most commonly used plastic in the construction industry around the world. Materials made of PVC are tough, resilient, require little maintenance, are esthetically pleasing and provide excellent fire resistance. Does its extensive use impose a burden on the environment? Can PVC be recycled? How does it behave in a fire? These questions and many more are answered during a one-hour presentation.
