Metal Roofing - Master Specification AIA Continuing Education DMI is committed to providing you with high-quality expert-level education in accordance with the AIA/CES standards. The courses we offer are designed to meet the needs of architects and typically run one hour in length. All Attendees will earn 1 Learning Unit and some of the courses we offer will meet the Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) requirements and the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI) credits. CLICK HERE TO REQUEST A COURSE DMI is pleased to offer the following AIA CEU accredited presentations for your consideration: Understanding Todays Metal Roofing (AIA LU) This course is an overview of standing seam metal roofing, from its early and historic uses to today’s modern roll forming capabilities. The course will investigate the metal substrates available and the finishing process of those substrates. The course will identify typical modern applications for standing seam metal roofing and the associated engineering, testing and watertightness warranties. Designing and Building w/ Single Skin Wall Panels (AIA LU, HSW) This course will explore the advantages of building with eco-conscious practices and how they can help to reduce the construction industry’s environmental footprint. It will also explain the advantages of building with wall systems that provide performance and sustainability as well as how modern paint finishes will protect and enhance a structure. Building Green with Metal Roofs and Walls (AIA LU, HSW, GBCI) This course will explore in depth the concept of cool metal roofs and walls while explaining their relationship to current energy code and guideline compliance. The environmental benefits of metal roofs and walls will also be explained, including contributions to numerous LEED® points. Additional case studies of various cool metal roof materials will be presented to illustrate how they can help lower energy use in a building. Retrofit with Metal Roof and Wall Systems (AIA LU, HSW, GBCI) This course is an overview of re-roofing using metal roofing supported by an engineered framing or sub-framing system, also known as retrofit. The course will cover typical applications for metal roof and wall systems during the retrofitting process, identify building characteristics in which metal can resolve retrofitting issues of utility and design and explain the overall benefits of metal roof and wall systems for existing buildings, including energy savings. Metal Roofing: The Perfect Platform for Solar Technologies (AIA LU, HSW, GBCI) A new metal roof installed over an existing roof, or a roof retrofit, provide the opportunity to add a photovoltaic (PV) system to a roof. This course will cover the basics of metal roofing and photovoltaics, as well as the synergy between solar technologies and metal roofing. Performance and environmental benefits, life cycle costs and retrofitting opportunities will be discussed. It’s important for a building owner to consider the roof and a PV system together as a single asset, rather than as separate components of a roof. With that approach, the total cost of ownership over the life of the asset can be assessed. Metal Roofs and Walls from A (Aluminum) to Z (Zinc) (AIA LU) This course will give you an understanding of the different types of metal roof and wall systems used in commercial buildings. It will examine different roof slopes, wall configurations and materials and how they present design opportunities for architectural elements. The course will also discuss the sustainability of metal roof and wall systems, as well as their economic impact. The end of the course will focus on a study that compared metal roof systems to other types of products in terms of life cycle costs, maintenance costs and owner satisfaction. Use of Snow Retention Devices (HSW) Discover the art and science of snow control and its effects, such as snow migration on rooftops of structures. Learn about the common myths and misperceptions regarding snow retention, as well as the do’s and don’ts of retention devices, product selection and site specifics.

We are often the source design professionals turn to for the best in watertight detailing and to solve difficult or challenging roof and wall conditions. Our Engineering Department utilizes these details in producing shop drawings in conjunction with our manufacturer issued Watertight Warranties. For your convenience, we offer over 2400 details for download. Our SSMR details are cataloged into five categories pertaining to the roof deck condition and the slope of the roof. Please select the appropriate deck condition the roof panels will be installed over: Polyiso Insulation, Wood Decking (plywood) or Purlin (open framing). Furthermore, we separate the deck conditions into both Architectural and Hydrostatic detailing. Generally, Architectural details are utilized on Standing Seam Metal Roofing with a slope of 3:12 and greater. Hydrostatic detailing is utilized for roof conditions on open purlins; roofs with less than a 3:12 slope; as well as, other difficult watertightness conditions and conditions requiring special attention to expansion and contraction. We offer our Metal Wall Details in both Horizontal and Vertical applications.

When looking at the warranties for your system it is important to note that not all warranties are created equal; be sure to read the fine print to find out about any limits or exclusions. Are you truly getting a warranty or is it just a glorified maintenance agreement? Is the warranty covering all aspects of your metal envelope system? Is it guaranteeing that your project is being installed with the best quality? With DMI Total System Warranties you can feel confident that you are getting the best quality and guarantee in the industry. Click Here to see a full list of our warranty offerings. DynaClad Metal Roof Watertight Warranty DynaClad Wall Panel Watertight Warranty DynaClad Paint Finish Warranty 20 YR 6 Months Galvalume Warranty Building Green In today’s society with energy costs continuing to rise there is a movement to build more efficient building structures. These structures are able to reduce cooling load costs and contain environmentally sustainable friendly materials. Whether you are a homeowner or a commercial building owner Dimensional Metals, Inc.’s metal roofing can help your project meet these green building practices. Our roofing’s durability and installed longevity make it a highly sustainable material. Our roofing material is not only produced with recycled material it is 100% recyclable which prevents material from going into landfills. Our DynaClad® “Cool Metal Roofing” finishes help reflect solar radiation from the roof surface lowering surface temperatures to help reduce energy consumption by lowering cooling loads. In addition, there are programs in place that may allow your project to qualify for a tax credit such as LEED. DMI’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) will assist in your design and construction with our sustainable building materials. These third party verified documents report environmental impact data on Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for your projects. These are all in accordance with international standard ISO 14025, Type III Environmental Declarations. The documents display environmentally responsible and energy efficient material options and provide comparisons of similar products. MCA Environmental Product Declaration Stay In-The-Know Sign Up
