This course focuses on how to use innovative concrete masonry products for the construction of retail facilities. Single wythe masonry walls are studied as a cost-effective option. The course compares the cost and performance of common wall assemblies for store construction, including their ability to meet the requirements of recent versions of the IECC. The course also highlights aesthetic detailing options, such as the use of specialty units for accent bands or window sills. Finally, the course covers the use of specialized coated masonry systems for areas requiring durable cleanable surfaces.

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

• Understanding the durability, cost and construction efficiency advantages of single wythe walls for grocery store construction.
• How to use coated masonry wall systems to provide superior aethetics and performance for areas requiring cleanable, durable and hygienic surfaces.
