AIA Continuing EducationEducation Resources

Masonry Technology, Inc. is eager to help with your continuing education needs. We have recently begun providing live and on-demand training for architects and builders. This new approach gives us much more flexibility in the ways we can offer AIA CES provider workshops and other MTI training. We can virtually meet with customers much more quickly and on their schedules. We also feel that this a much better use of natural resources.

Masonry Technology, Inc. is a Registered Provider with The American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems. Credit Earned on completion of these programs will be reported to CES Records for AIA members. Certificates of Completion for non-AIA members are available upon request.

Listed below is a sampling of our training resources. Some are simply short clips of the actual workshops while others are fully functional guides.

What You Should Know About Rainscreens

What is a Rainscreen? What must Rainscreen technology really do? Learn about the important features of a true Rainscreen and why proper Rainscreen technology is essential for your wall system. View Presentation

Why Single Wythe CMU Walls Leak

If you are involved with a project using this type of wall, you need to view this presentation. It will clearly show how the Laws of Physics are at the root of most leaks in this type of wall. It will also show you how to overcome these phenomena and control single wythe cmu moisture problems. This presentation is available in two formats:
