Aluminum Extrusions
This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.
There is an almost limitless variety of forms an aluminum extrusion can take, and design flexibility allows a great deal of functionality to be designed into extruded components. This course discusses the characteristics, technical information, and benefits of aluminum extrusions used as a building material, with a focus on whole building design, sustainability, and application possibilities.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Provide technical information as to the benefits of aluminum extrusions used as building material in terms of strength and durability.
- Outline the sustainable characteristics of extruded aluminum building products.
- Present solutions on how to address some of today’s building design challenges in light of the increasing demand for green buildings.
- Showcase various building and construction applications and innovations using aluminum extrusions.
- Relate the holistic applications of extruded aluminum products to the “Whole Building Design” concept.
