Spring Training Webinar Series
Three Days. Three Sessions. New AIA-Accredited Courses.
Petersen, Metal-Era and Citadel present a three-day virtual education series designed to strengthen architectural performance, creativity and compliance—covering high-performance color and finishes, advanced glazing infill systems and critical perimeter-edge wind standards. Learn how durable coatings and anodizing support expressive, long-lasting metal architecture while enhancing community identity and project value.
Discover how glazing infill panels improve thermal performance, safety, constructability and design flexibility in façade, curtain wall and storefront systems through proven fabrication and specification strategies.
Gain essential insight into ES-1 and GT-1 compliance, wind uplift dynamics and code-driven testing methods to better protect building perimeters and occupants in severe weather conditions.

Bold Color, Creative Expression, Long-Term Durability
Presented by Petersen
Architects can specify bold architectural color without sacrificing long-term durability. This webinar examines how 70 percent PVDF coil coatings and architectural anodizing support expressive metal façades with verified color stability. Through research-based insights and built project examples, attendees will explore how color, gloss, metallic finishes, and simulated patinas can create visual depth and hierarchy while maintaining envelope performance and long-term project value.

Cutting-Edge Design: ES-1 & GT-1 Compliance Webinar
Presented by Metal-Era
Roof perimeter edge metal serves as the building envelope’s first line of defense against wind uplift and severe weather. This webinar examines ANSI/SPRI/FM 4435/ES-1 and ANSI/SPRI GT-1 standards and how these code-recognized tests validate system integrity for fascia, coping, and gutter assemblies. Attendees will gain insight into wind design pressures, required testing methods, and specification strategies that support building code compliance and long-term perimeter performance.

Pane-Less: The Glazing Infill Panel Advantage
Presented by Citadel
Glazing infill panels offer a flexible solution for integrating performance and design within the modern building envelope. This webinar examines how infill panels function within façade, curtain wall, and storefront systems and compares them to glass in addressing thermal performance, structural demands, weight, and installation considerations. Attendees will gain insight into fabrication methods, tested performance, and specification strategies that support energy efficiency, safety, and design goals.
