ATAS International, Inc. is an AIA/CES provider offering four approved seminars:
-
Understanding Metal Roofing (1 HSW/CEH)
-
Transpired Solar Collectors (1 HSW/CEH)
-Energy Efficent Building Envelope Technology Building Green with Metal
(1 HSW/SD/CEH)
-Test methods related to metal roofing- the test and the reality! (1 HSW/CEH)
Qualified instructors conduct the seminar and encourage a question and answer session. Training may be held at an architect's office, an AIA chapter meeting, CSI chapter meeting or another convenient location.
If your office cannot hold a large group or you would like to combine the seminar with other firms, ATAS will rent a room at a hotel or other large gathering space to accomodate groups of 20 people and over.
