The Midwest Masonry Council, as part of the Indianapolis Chapter CSI Trade Show, is hosting a masonry seminar. The seminar is entitled "Cost Effiective Energy Efficient Design for Buildings Using Exterior Masonry Walls - "More Bang for Your Buck". It will be a 1-hour session offering 1-hour AIA CEU.The seminar will be located in Room 201 at the JW Marriott, the same room where the steel education seminar will be held. The room is located next to the trade show exhibit space. There is no cost for this seminar and lunch will be provided.
The presentation will address the following learning objectives:
* Present an over view of the results of the "ALTERNATIVE ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGNS FOR SINGLE WYTHE MASONRY STRUCTURES" investigation that was recently completed at the University of Louisville.
* Quantify the effects of building envelope design, including fenestration, on overall energy conservation.
* Quantify the effects of other systems such as lighting and HVAC system design on the overall energy efficiency and cost effectiveness of the design.
* Present an brief overview of the results of an earlier U of L Study on "Cost Effective Energy Efficient School Designs for Kentucky", including effects of exterior cavity wall insulation, envelop configurations and select MEP systems on yearly energy performance of these types of buildings
ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
Dr. Mark McGinley, Ph.D, PE, FASTM is a Professor and Endowed Chair for Infrastructure Research, Civil and Environmental Engineering, J.B. Speed School of Engineering University of Louisville. Dr. McGinley is a structural engineer and building scientist with an excess of 25 years of research and forensic engineering practice in building systems.
Dr. McGinley's research has included research on the structural performance of masonry walls, water penetration experiments on envelopes and the building envelope performance of brick veneer and steel stud wall systems. He has also been involved in, multidiscipline efforts on the evaluation of the energy systems of existing buildings and demonstration projects evaluating condensing heat exchangers and thermal mass effects of night time ventilation. He has been a primary author of all seven editions of the Masonry Designers Guide.
