ONLINE SEMINARS

LEED^® Green Building Rating System and Concrete (Web)
This seminar provides an introduction to the LEED^® Green Building Rating System and a detailed description of how concrete plays an integral role in green building design and construction. After completing this program, you will understand how ready mixed concrete can be used to minimize environmental impact of construction. You will learn how architects, engineers, contractors and ready mixed concrete producers can work together to optimize environmental performance of concrete construction using the LEED^® Green Building Rating System. This program provides approximately one hour of instruction. Participants receive 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) and/or 1 Learning Unit (LU). Click here to register for this online seminar. Product number CES001.

Performance-based Specifications for Concrete (Web)
The P2P Initiative of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association proposes the use of performance-based specifications for concrete construction as an alternative to traditional prescriptive specifications. This presentation demonstrates how performance-based specifications encourage innovation, cost effective construction, and quality control. A sample performance-based specification using current building code requirements is presented. This program provides approximately one hour of instruction. Participants receive 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) and/or 1 Learning Unit (LU). Click here to register for this online seminar. Product number CES002.

Pervious Concrete: Solutions to Stormwater Runoff (Web)
This online seminar provides an introduction to pervious concrete pavement as a solution to reducing stormwater runoff from building sites. You will learn what pervious concrete pavement is, its engineering properties and construction techniques. Pervious concrete pavement is considered a best management practice by EPA and is a recommended solution to reducing runoff in the LEED Green Building Rating System. Pervious concrete pavement is ideal for parking areas, sidewalks, patios, tennis courts, roads and driveways. This program provides approximately one hour of instruction. Participants receive 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) and/or 1 Learning Unit (LU). Click here to register for this online seminar. Product number CES003.

Additional seminars will be available soon.

NRMCA is a registered provider with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education System (CES) allowing it to officially deliver continuing education to registered architects and engineers. The 70,000 members of the AIA must complete 18 Learning Units (LU) of continuing education annually to remain in good standing. Each LU is equivalent to one contact hour of education. In addition, architectural boards in 30 states and 10 Canadian Provinces have implemented mandatory continuing education for re-licensure. Most states recognize the AIA/CES as the primary source of professional development for their licensed architects. Similarly, over 25 states have mandatory continuing education for registered professional engineers, with many states requiring as many as 15 Professional Development Hours (PDH) per year.  Many states also recognize the AIA/CES program as a source of professional development for licensed engineers.
