This program is designed to provide important updated information to architects, designers, contractors, building owners, and other interested parties about infrared (IR) heat reflective exterior wall coating systems. Recent advances in coating technology hav e ch anged the way IR heat reflective exterior wall coating systems can be used to lower building temperatures and reduce cooling costs. The program explains how IR heat reflective coatings work, the testing that has been done to verify the performance of the se coatin gs, and the benefits of using an IR heat reflective exterior wall coatings system. Finally, the course covers LEED poin t eligibilit y and the recent advances in the science, including the incorporation of recycled glass into these coating systems.
