18 JULY 2016 COATINGSPROMAG.COM teams to help meet energy codes and voluntary green building programs; however, some mid-rise multi-fam- ily projects at four or more stories tall could be covered by the LEED for Homes Rating System: Multi-Family Mid-Rise. For healthcare projects, a moisture-control plan must be devel- oped per EQ Credit 3, Construction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan to comply with LEED for New Construction (NC). Termal break design details also enhance the continuous insulation (ci) requirements in energy codes. Often, much attention is paid to upgrading heating, ventilation, and air condi- tioning (HVAC) and lighting systems with increased R-values in the build- ing envelope. Fluid-applied thermal coatings have the potential to create additional energy-efcient upgrades to the exterior facing systems. Project teams then have the potential to select lower initial cost HVAC systems when the building envelope is at a higher performance level. T he latest versions of the International Energ y Conser vation Code (IECC) and ASHR AE 90.1 require increased energ y performance design details. Building energ y performance upgrades, including more efficient HVAC, lighting, and insulation systems, are not always enough, and it is also difficult to complete upgrades while maintaining the building ow ner's desires for unique aesthetics and f lexible design requirements. In addition, ASHR AE 90.1-2010 and the 2012 IECC call for ci throughout the entire building envelope. T hermal break coatings can assist project teams w ith compliance w ith the new energ y codes and have the potential for initial cost savings for building ow ners on new construction and retrofit projects. Another beneft of these coatings could be health related: Tere is a reduced potential for mold growth in wall systems. Te warmer interior temperature of the structural members of the building can be bridged by Keep Safety First in Mind. Coming Soon: First Module of NACE's Industrial Coating Application (ICA) eCourse Applicable to those both in and outside the coatings industry, the Safety Codes, Practice, and Standards module trains you and your employees on critical safety practices through engaging slides, short quizzes, print- able safety posters, downloadable checklists, and more. Keep the following at the forefront of employees' minds: • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) • Hearing Conservation • Fall Protection • Working from Scafolds and Ladders • Aerial Lifts • Confned Space and Ventilation • Lock Out Tag Out • Selection and Use of Respiratory Protection • HAZCOM and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) • Electrical Grounding Requirements • Working with Hand and Power Tools • Avoiding Heat and Cold Related Injury • Heavy Metals and Environmental Waste Minimization • General Safety Guidelines for Surface Prep and Application Stay tuned for Modules 2 - 5! • Process Control • Materials • Surface Preparation • Liquid Coating Application nace.org/ica-safety1 Wr i te in Re ad e r In q u ir y #385
