Course Description: This course explains how suspended coated films can facilitate maximum thermal performance, and how insulating glass with suspended coated films create real design flexibility. The course begins with detailing basic glazing technology and ends with profiles of specific projects that feature suspended coated films.

Objectives: At the end of this course, participants will: 

• Understand the "component building blocks" employed to maximize insulating glass' thermal performance, and will be able to evaluate insulating glass performance based upon use of these building blocks. 
• Understand how suspended coated films can be used to maximize insulating glass' energy performance characteristics, and how these characteristics can be used to expand design freedom, and reduce building energy consumption & carbon footprint.
• Understand how to improve glazing performance such that fenestration can potentially outperform walls and elimination of perimeter heating can be justified. 
• Understand how suspended coated films can improve "non-energy" performance of fenestration such as: 
• UV blockage 
• Improved acoustic performance 
• Reduced condensation 
• Improved occupant comfort.

Presented by: Kurt Russell has been working with suspended coated films for more than 27 years in Europe, the Middle East and North America.  His experience includes manufacturing, quality control, field services and technical sales.
