Aluminum composite material (ACM) is a lightweight composite material consisting of two sheets of aluminum facings thermobonded to a fire-retardant core. This course will discuss the versatility, sustainability, and functionality of fire-rated ACM and its properties. We will discuss why it is selected for architectural cladding, interiors, and signage applications in new and existing buildings around the globe.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Summarize the fundamentals of ACM including its history, components, benefits, and environmental aspects.
• Describe how ACM products are manufactured in an environmentally responsible manner.
• Identify the specification considerations, codes, and testing requirements relating to ACM.
• Differentiate between the common types of ACM systems, finishes, and coatings.
• Explain how ACM is installed and identify different applications, citing case studies.
