PPG Industries’ industrial coatings business has introduced Cool Coatings for Metal Roofing, an American Institute of Architects’ Continuing Education Service course.

• Key terms and definitions that relate to cool roofing
• How cool roofing works and its benefits and attributes
• Current cool roofing specifications, codes, regulations and guidelines in the United States
• Research that validates the cool roof concept With these additions, PPG now offers classroom instruction for 18 AIA/CES-approved courses. The courses are taught by PPG representatives throughout the United States, and can be scheduled as lunch presentations at architectural firms or at the time and place of a firm’s choice. Each course lasts for approximately one hour. For more information, visit www.ppgindustries.com.
