Coatings are about more than a building’s appearance; they play a vital role in preserving the architectural elements of the façade. This course explains coating chemistries and manufacturing, as well as the role they play in sustainability. The course also offers a detailed look at industry standards and tests that result in coating performance metrics. Specifying the correct coating for a given application can dramatically improve a building’s appearance and its cradle-to-cradle environmental footprint.

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

  • Recall the role coatings play in protecting architectural elements and extending a building’s life span, improving its sustainability and durability.
  • Recognize basic coating chemistries, ingredients, and manufacturing processes and their associated environmental issues and benefits including material recycling and heat recovery.
  • List quality testing procedures and industry standards, and describe how these performance metrics influence a building’s cradle-to-cradle design.
  • Assess which coating formula to specify in order to control costs and prevent premature failure of architectural components.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
