What’s New in LEED v4.1 – A Focus on Masonry
This course provides a summary of changes in LEED v4.1, with a focus on changes that are most likely of interest to the masonry industry.
$75.00
Description
The latest version of LEED for new construction, LEED v4.1 Building Design and Construction (BD+C), was released in early 2019. This version is an update to LEED v4, rather than a complete rewrite of the rating system. Several of the credits found in LEED v4 proved difficult to achieve or beyond the market’s capabilities. The Materials and Resources credits were particularly problematic. LEED v4.1 attempts to address these issues by adding incremental achievement levels and revising the thresholds and criteria in many of the credits. Some have been streamlined and several requirements have been eliminated entirely. Speaker Christine A. Subasic, P.E., LEED AP will summarize the changes in LEED v4.1 with a focus on those changes that are most likely of interest to the masonry industry
Learning Objectives:
- Identify at least 3 goals of the LEED v4.1 updates.
- Describe the significant change to the Optimize Energy Performance credit
- Explain the incremental approach added to several of the Materials and Resources credits.
- Explain the differences between Environmental Product Declarations and Health Product Declarations

Structural Masonry Detailing: Confined Lap Splices
Most designers who engineer reinforced masonry know that code provisions for lap splice lengths have been evolving over the past few code editions. This course provides an overview of a newer confinement-steel option that has the potential to significantly reduce the lap splice lengths, especially for larger diameter bars, through confinement of the structural reinforcement.

Special Inspection of Structural Masonry #9 – Testing
This lesson will review common masonry tests and sampling methods as well as when such test may be appropriate and required by the Quality Assurance/Quality Control programs. Common errors in testing will be discussed to try to reduce such errors from being replicated in the future. Destructive and non-destructive tests and evaluation methods will briefly be reviewed for situations where construction testing was not performed, was not performed properly, or when results are suspect.

This lesson will review the basics of masonry construction so that those observing or accessing that construction are aware of common procedures and practices. Tolerances of units and construction will be reviewed so that those constructing masonry, or judging that construction know whether the resulting work is reasonable and within common tolerances. Movement joints including control joints and expansion joints will also be reviewed as to why they may be needed, what is important to make them function properly, and how they are commonly constructed.

$75.00 Add to cartSpecial Inspection of Structural Masonry #4 – Mortar and Mortar Mixing
This lesson is designed to provide a thorough understanding of mortar for new masonry construction, especially as it pertains to the responsibilities of a Special Inspector. It describes the purpose of mortar joining masonry units and the desirable properties of fresh and hardened mortar. It describes the materials that comprise mortar and explains how mortars are specified, batched, and mixed. Mixing considerations necessarily include good practices for hot and cold weather construction and the additional care required for colored mortar, both for materials and mixing requirements. This lesson briefly describes quality assurance and quality control for mortar, the difference between QA and QC, and typical reporting requirements related to that.
