PPG INTRODUCES CONTINUING
EDUCATION PROGRAM ON
COOL ROOF COATINGS
PPG Industries’ industrial coatings business has
introduced Cool Coatings for Metal Roofing, an
American Institute of Architects’ Continuing Education
Service course. The designated sustainable design
course earns participants Health, Safety and Welfare
credit as well.
The four learning objectives of the new AIA/CES
course are to familiarize architects with:
• 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 through-
out 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 approxi-
mately one hour.
PPG also has eight courses approved by AIA for
distance learning, enabling architects to take classes
at their computers or to download content as a slide
show or printed document. Distance learning courses
by PPG, which earn participants one learning unit
credit upon successful completion, are available for
free at www.ArchitectCES.com.
