The American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) recently released education courses on code requirements, energy efficiency and thermal performance, as well as skylights and daylighting, as part of the association’s FenestrationMasters® program. This is the fourth group of FenestrationMasters courses released by AAMA.

Group 1 courses cover product types and design considerations, window, door and skylight performance standards, proper glass selection and specialty performance considerations (blast, impact, tornado and acoustics). Group 2 courses cover profile performance and material considerations, as well as coatings and finishes. Group 3 courses cover hardware, weatherstrip and weatherseals, as well as sealants and adhesives used during factory fabrication.

AAMA is planning to release Group 5 (installation and field testing/forensic evaluation) in May and Group 6 (curtain wall systems and storefronts) in June. For a full course listing, visit www.aamanet.org/fenestrationmasters[1]
