Target Audience: General Contractors, Property Owners and Managers, Architects, and Engineers Presented by Chad Randall — Active LED Improving Energy Efficiency Through Solar Powered Ventilation By Attic Breeze 9:30AM - 11AM :: WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY As the sun heats your roof throughout the day, attic temperatures can reach over 150 degrees in the summer without proper ventilation. When your attic cannot breathe, the resulting trapped heat and moisture can cause numerous problems including higher electric bills, mold outbreaks, and ultimately the deterioration of your roof over time. Attic Breeze solar attic fans offer the perfect solution to this ventilation problem by continuously removing attic heat and moisture throughout the day, and do so for absolutely no cost of operation. Working as a self-regulating system with your attic, the more intensely the sun beats down on your roof, the faster our fans remove hot air to cool your attic. And when your attic is cooler, everything in your attic just works better. Attic Breeze, We Are Solar Powered Ventilation.

Topics to be covered include an in-depth conversation of species, grades, kiln drying, structural properties, and even a little weather and geography that can affect timber quality. I’ll also discuss things to watch for when you’re buying antique / reclaimed timber and lumber. I’ll lay out a juxtaposition between the options available, how to prioritize characteristics in different species / grades, what to look for when purchasing in order to avoid delays and cost overruns during construction. I bring over 30 years experience in the lumber industry which include 10 years as Lumber Sales Manager for Georgia Pacific Corp, and the past 22 years owning and running a manufacturing / sawmill operation that focuses on timber, timber trusses, and exposed lumber for high-end and commercial projects.
