Kitchen Cabinet Construction Methods, Finishes and Applications

Sponsored By Wolf Home Products

Presented By Jason Foura

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

A study of the US cabinet market and cabinet construction methods including substrates, composition, hardware, and finishes.

Learning Objectives:

Identify and compare various substrates and composition of kitchen cabinets. How furniture board and MDF are made with binders and materials that can off gas
Examine the features and benefits of various finish options for kitchen cabinets. How these finishes are applied regarding robotics for paint and stain booths as well as capturing and recycling fumes/off gas. Discussion on off gassing of compounds in Resins such as thermofoil and melamine cabinet finishes
Define and compare framed and frameless cabinets, as well as factory built versus assembled cabinets. Theses differences play a significant roll in how they are installed as well as the sturdiness and safety of hanging heavier weights/cabinet materials
Discuss available and new hardware options as well as best installation practices for safe and sturdy install

Benefits of High Efficiency Gas Water Heaters: Tank & Tankless Commercial Applications

Sponsored By Rheem Commercial Water

Presented By Ron Nevill

1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)
1 RCEP PDH(s) for Engineers

To optimize the design and performance of commercial water heater systems, professionals should understand the difference between standard and high efficiency gas water heaters. Join us in this one-hour course as we cover the benefits of high efficiency gas water heaters and how to easily convert from standard to high efficiency.

Learning Objectives:

Compare and contrast standard efficiency and high efficiency gas water heaters for energy consumption, cost savings, and environmental impact
Model best practices for converting from existing standard gas water heaters to high efficiency gas water heaters so projects remain cost-effective and time efficient
Determine the correct water heater for different applications based on time, temperature, and quantity to improve thermal efficiency and occupant comfort
Illustrate best practices for piping and venting multiple water heaters to ensure projects are safe and code compliant
Recall advanced and emerging technologies in water heating that improve on efficiency and building integration
